|E7  |A7  |B7  A7 |

[Chorus]
E7                          A7
  And you think you've seen trouble?
                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha
        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
      A7                 E7   B7
And a hard time losin' man

[Verse 1]
    E7                   A7
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
    B7        A7        E7   B7
And sometimes skies are blue
    E7                          A7
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
    B7            A7        E7   B7
But sometimes the bear eats you
      E7                    A7
Well, sometimes I feel like I should go
B7        A7        E7   B7
Far, far away and hide
       E7                      A7
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in
    B7            A7            E7
And all that ever comes is the tide

[Chorus]
                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble
                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha
        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
      A7                 E7   B7
And a hard time losin' man

[Verse 2]
      E7              A7
Oh, I saved up all my money
        B7       A7     E7  B7
I gonna buy me a flashy car
     E7             A7
So I go downtown to see the man
       B7           A7    E7  B7
And he smokin' on a big cigar
         E7                     A7
Well, he must've thought I were Rockefeller
      B7     A7     E7     B7
Or an uptown man of wealth
          E7                        A7
He said, "Boy, I got the car that's made for you
         B7               A7       E7
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"

[Bridge]
                  A7
Then I got on the highway
                 E7          A7
Oh, I feelin' fine,  I hit a bump
       E7                          B7
Then I found I bought a car held together by wire
      A7                    E7
And a couple a' hunks of twine

[Chorus]
                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble
                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha
        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
      A7                 E7   B7
And a hard time losin' man

[Verse 3]
    E7            A7
Oh, Friday night, feelin' right
  B7       A7     E7
I head out on the street
E7               A7
 Standin' in the doorway
      B7     A7          E7  B7
Was a dealer known as Pete
         E7                     A7
Well, he sold me a dime of some super fine
B7            A7  E7  B7
Dynamite from Mexico
        E7                  A7
I spent all that night just tryin' to get right
      B7         A7  E7
On an ounce of oregano

[Outro]
                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble
                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha
        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
      A7                 E7
And a hard time losin' man

                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble
                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha
        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
      A7                 E7
And a hard time losin' man

                          A7
And you think you've seen trouble
                            E7      A7
Well, you're lookin' at the man, ah-ha
        E7                   B7
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
      A7                 E7
And a hard time losin' man
