Eric Clapton - Nobody Knows You guitar tab

From: Harlan L Thompson

NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT- Derek and the Dominos

C E A A7 A

Once I lived the life of a millionaire

Dm A Dm

Spent all my money, just did not care

F F7 C C/B A

Took all my friends out for a good time

D7 G7

Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go

If I get my hands on a dollar again

I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah

Cause no, no, nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In your pocket, not one penny

And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again

Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend

Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back upon your feet again,

Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend

Said it's mighty strange

D7 D#7 E7 F7

Nobody knows you

F7 E7 D#7 D7

Nobody knows you

G7 C F7 C G7 C

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

D#7: x x 1 3 2 3 E7: x x 2 4 3 4 F7: x x 3 5 4 5

F7 (in verses): x x 1 2 1 1 A7: x 0 2 2 2 3
