D                            E7
Nobody loves you when you`re down and out
G                           D
Nobody sees you when you`re on cloud nine
D                          E7
Everybody`s hustlin` for a buck and a dime
G                          D
I`ll scratch your back and you scratch mine

D                       Bb5+
I`ve been across to the other side
Bm                               F#              G - F#
I`ve shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
G              A           D                Bm7
But still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
G          Gm6             D           Bm
All I can tell you is it`s all show biz
G          Gm              D
All I can tell you is it`s all show biz

Nobody knows you when you`re on cloud nine
D                          E7
Everybody`s hustlin` for a buck and a dime
G                          D
I`ll scratch your back and you knife mine
 
[Segunda Parte]
 
D                       Bb5+
I`ve been across the water now so many times
Bm                               F#              G - F#
I`ve seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
G              A           D                Bm7
But still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
G          Gm6             D           Bm
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
G          Gm              D
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away

       D                           
Well I get up in the morning and 
     D5+                      D6  G  A  D
I`m looking in the mirror to see, ooo
wee
         D                          
Then I`m lying in the darkness and 
   D5+                  D6     G  A  D
I know I can`t get to sleep, ooo wee!

D                            E7
Nobody loves you when you`re old and grey
G                           D
Nobody needs you when you`re upside down
D                          E7
Everybody`s hollerin` `bout their own birthday
G                          D
Everybody loves you when you`re six foot in the ground
