verse 1  
 A                              C# 
 A man just came to call for my rent 
        F#m                             D 
 I had to hide under the table  Till he knocked six times and went 
        A               F#m    Bm     `                       E 
 But I can't hold on much longer Seems like everything is down on me 
   A - D - E 
  
verse 2  
 A                      C# 
 I used to be a man of means 
        F#m                             D 
 Now you might still find a few pennies in the pocket of my jeans 
        A               F#m    Bm                                     E 
 But I can't hold on much longer  It seems like everything is down on me 
    A - D - E

 C#         F#m                D                              A 
 I ain't got too many friends In fact I can't think of any at all 
   Bm                   D 
 Oh but just let me get back on my feet again 
 Bm             D                      E 
 And my long-lost friends will come to call 

verse 3 
        A                       C# 
 Knocking on my own brother's door 
F#m                                               D 
 People I was knocking for one whole hour till I found out he don't live there no more 

A                          F#m    Bm                             E 
Lord I can't hold on much longer  Seems like everything is down on me 
        A - D - E
