           E
Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad
  E
I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
   B7
No matter how I struggle and strive
                                  E
I'll never get out of this world alive


My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.


Bridge 1:
  A                             E
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
    A                                  
And I was living high until that fatal day
         B7
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
                    
I was only hatched


I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no-how
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

Bridge 2:
These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails.

I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no-how
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive
