     G                    C     G
Well not long ago I was a happy man
G                          C          G
Money in my pockets with a ring on my hand
   G                        C       G
My money's all gone and I'm feelin' low
G               C         D    G
Standin' on the corner of Skid Row


I got an old John B with the band wore through
A great big hole in my blue suede show
My wine's all gone and I need some more
Standin' on the corner of Skid Row

     C
Well people walk by and they stop and stare
     G
They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear
     C 
It's just another day like it always goes
            G        C        D    G
When you're hangin' around on Skid Row

My girl friend left me, she don't want me no more
We had a great big fight just a night before
She said I got no class because she knows
I've been hangin' around on Skid Row
