If You Aint Got Nothing

C
Well if you ain’t got nothing you 
ain’t got nothing to lose

There ain’t no pleasure in singing 
               G7
these low down blues

C                                 
Smoking that get down and bumming 
             F
them Red Man chews

       C                     G7   
If you ain’t got nothing you ain’t
                C
 got nothing to lose


Daddy was a freeloader working for 
             F
the railroad line

  D7                               
I grew up listening to brother can 
               G7
you spare me a dime

    C                            
The oil situation and the world’s 
inflation and the bomb would be bad

I used to work my fingers to the 
F
bone

  D7                            
I had everything that me and the 
            G7
bank could own

    C                         
But a sweaty blue collar and a
