[Verso 1]
 
      Em                            E 
I had fourteen dollars in my inside pocket 
    Em                    B 
And twenty-two more up my sleeve 
          Em             G            A 
There was cold hard cash lining up my jacket 
      Em             B               E 
But I did not have a dime when I did leave 


[Verso 2]
 
       Em                      E 
When I got here I was carrying roses 
       Em                            B 
When I had to go, I was only holding dirt 
       Em             E         A         G 
Well I walked in here wearing a tuxedo 
      Em           B             E 
But I left wearing just an old t-shirt 


[Ponte]

     A                                E 
They say it's hard times, and don't I know it 
    C#m                       B 
I'm sleeping on a bed made of nails 
        Em           D             B 
Well, I used to live way up in the penthouse 
      Em               B                  E 
Now I can't even get a room in the county jail 


[Refrão]
 
E 
Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings 
                                           B 
And I don't think they'll come around next spring 
E 
Just like birds of prey 
          A 
They will take what's yours and fly away 
    Em               B                   E 
Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings

[Verso 3]
 
        Em                E 
Well, I came to town on a pile of diamonds 
        Em                E         B 
Now I'm leaving on a wheelbarrow of dust 
     Em   E           A 
With IOUs glued to my eyelids 
Em           B                E 
Sitting here watching my safe rust 


[Ponte]

A                                     E 
Watching all your coins roll down the gutter 
C#m                               B 
All your champagne going down the sink 
         Em                    D         E 
Is there something that you're trying to remember? 
           Em                 B                E 
Or is that string around your finger a wedding ring?
