This is a fun easy version of the song, the melody line is a bit
diferent than the Eric Clapton version but its easy to catch on to.

 C       E7                    A7
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
  Dm           A7          Dm A7  Dm
Spent all my money (lord) and I didn't care
   F         D7               C     E7   A7
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
   D7                      G7
Drinking fancy liquor, champagne and wine

  But then I began  to fall so low
  I didn't have a dollar, I had no place to go
  Well if I get my hands on a dollar again
  I'll hang on to it till the eagle grins

Nobody knows you
When your down and out my friend
In my pocket I havent got a pennie
And as for friends I ain't got to many

  But when I get back on my feet again
  Everybody wants to be my long lost friend
  It's mighty strange with out any doubt
  Nobody Knows you when your down and out
