Hey, once I was the honky-tonkin' talk of the town
      A                 E
Ridin' high in my bad Chevrolet
E                                 C#7
I had seven pretty women, Lord, hangin' on me
  F#7                   B7
A different one for every day
   E
But look at me now, all my women's left town
     A                          E
And a buck is gettin' hard to come by
    A         A#dim7
Well I must confess
  E            C#7
My life's a big mess
      F#7         B7          E
I'm so low, I could lay down and die
CHORUS:
E
Well, you never know just how good you've got it 'till you
A                  E
....ain't got it no more
E                             C#7
You never know just how high you're flyin' 'till you
F#7                 B7
Fall face down on the floor
E
All I can do is just moan the blues
    A                    G#7
And dream about what I had before
        A        A#dim7
Hey, you never know just how
E          C#7
Good you've got it 'till you
F#7   B7        E
Ain't got it no more

Hey, lately I've become one pool-sharking fool
       A                       E
Make my livin' on them buddies of mine
E                                          C#7
I was cookin' last night when the chips were all down
        F#7                     B7
So I layed everything I had on the line
      E
Well i knew I'd regret that hundred dollar bet
       A                        E
But you never learn until it's too late
   A          A#dim7
We flipped and I lost
   E           C#7
Then I payed the cost
        F#7      B7           E
When the eight fell in on the break
REPEAT CHORUS
       A        A#dim7
No, you never know just how
E         C#7
Good you've got it 'till you
F#7      B7        E   E
...Ain't got it no more
