[Intro]  D  C  Am  F  G

          G                          F
I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed
    C                           G
My future's at the bottom of a teacup
          G                       F
I've got half a pair of shoes and no time to lose
     C                        G
I'm wondering when I'm gonna wise up

     F                   C        G
So, Fortune, shine your light on me (and my nose)
          F          C   G
Cause I need some security
           F          C            G
You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows
          F      C              G
I'm the black sheep of the family

          G                       F
I've got half a pound of rice, a beard full of lice
 C               G
Political retrogression
            G                        F
I've got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must
        C                      G
If you want to make a good impression

     F                  C        G
So, Fortune shine your light on me (and my dog)
          F          C   G
Cause we need some security
      F                C      G
While other folks are living high on the hog
          F      C              G
I'm the black sheep of the family

Am               D          G  Em  D
  Don't talk to me about Society
Am                        Am               D
  You got to play by the rules or pay the penalty
                 G                           Bm
Because there's nothing to choose between a handful of blues
 C             G  D  C  Am  D  G
Double indemnity

      Am                         G
The whole world's wrong and my shadow's getting long
    D                      Am
I realize this song don't mean much
         Am                         G
I got an ache in my head. I want to go to bed
   D                      Am
Tomorrow, I don't have to wake up

     G                 D        Am
So, Wisdom shine your light on me (and my knees)
       G             D           Am
It's true what they say about familiarity
         G                 D          Am
There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say
          G      D            Am
I'm the black sheep of the family

     G                 D        Am
So, Wisdom shine your light on me (and my knees)
       G             D           Am
It's true what they say about familiarity
         G                 D          Am
There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say
          G      D            Am
I'm the black sheep of the family
