	  		G                                C        G 
Once he lived like a king and he had everything 

                                   D7 
All the world they say laid at his feet 

         G                       C                       G 
Yet with all his wealth and fame he played that cheatin game 

                       D7           G 
And he wound up like a tramp on the street 





               C                        G 
He went from a Rolls to the rail from a mansion to dirty jails 

                                      D7 
From a penthouse to the jungle by the track 

     G                       C                      G 
From champagne to cheap wine right down to his last dime 
   
                           D7            G 
And now all he owns is the cloths on his back 





                                C            G 
He drove a big fancy car and he smoked big cigars 

                                D7 
Had everything that a man could own 

         G                   C                 G 
But wild women and song soon his money was all gone 

                      D7      G 
And now he rides in a boxcar alone 




               C                        G 
He went from a Rolls to the rail from a mansion to dirty jails 

                                      D7 
From a penthouse to the jungle by the track 

     G                       C                      G 
From champagne to cheap wine right down to his last dime 
   
                           D7            G 
And now all he owns is the cloths on his back
