NOBODY LOVES YOU WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND OUT
C E7 A7 Dm A Dm
Once I lived the life of a millionaire, spent all my money didn’t have no cares
F Dm C A7 Dm G
Took all my friends out for mighty good times, bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
C E7 A7 Dm A Dm
Then I began to fall so low, lost all my friends, had nowhere to go
F Dm C A7 Dm G
If I get my hands on a dollar again, I’ll hang on to it, til the bitter end
Nobody loves you when you’re down and out, and in your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don’t have any, when you get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend, I said it’s strange, without any doubt
Nobody loves when you’re down and out.
GRAFTON STREET
C Bm G Am7
Grafton Street, Christmas time, the elbows push you ‘round
C Bm Am7 D
This is not my place of memory, I’m a stranger in this town
C Bm Am7 D
But the faces look familiar, and I know that song they’re playing
C Bm Am7 D G
And I close my eyes and I find myself, 5000 miles away
chorus
C Bm Am7 D
It’s funny how my world goes ‘round without you
C Bm Am7 D
Oh, you’re the one thing I never thought that I could live without
C Bm Am7 D
I just found a smile to think about you
C Am7 D G
You’re a Saturday night, far from the madding crowd
Buskers sing by candlelight down by Bewley’s store
And a young nun offers me a chair at a table by the door
And I feel compelled to tell her of the sisters that we knew
How when they lit their candles, I’d say a prayer for you
Church bells ring out holy hour, back out in the rain
It’s been twenty years or more since I last said your name
And I hear you live near Dallas now, in a house out on the plains
Why Grafton Street brought you to mind, I really can’t explain.
