Intro.:  (G) (C) (G) (D)

(G)I know a gal got a lot to lose
She's a (D)pretty nice lady but she's kinda confused
Got (G)muscles in her head ain't never been used
Thinks she owns half of this (D)town

(G)Starts drinkin' heavy gets a big red nose
And she (C)beats her old man with her pantyhose
And (G)takes him out and buys him new clothes
That's the (D)way that the world goes (G)'round

(Chorus)
(G)That's the way that the world goes 'round
One (C)minute you're up and the next you're down
'That a (G)half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round

Well I was (G)sittin' in the tub just a countin' my toes
When the (C)radiator broke and the water froze
Got (G)stuck in the ice without any clothes
Naked as the eyes of a (D)clown

I was (G)cryin', "Ice cubes", hopin' that I'd croak
When the (C)sun came through the window and the ice all broke
I said (G)son of a gun man that's just a joke
And that's the (D)way that the world goes (G)'round

(Chorus)
(G)That's the way that the world goes 'round
One (C)minute you're up and the next you're down
'That a (G)half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round

(Chorus)
Well, I said (G)that's the way that the world goes 'round
One (C)minute you're up and the next you're down
'That a (G)half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round

(Tag)
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round
That's the way (D) that the world goes (G) 'round
