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
