I know a gal got a lot to lose
        C9
She's a pretty nice lady but she’s kinda confused
    G
Got muscles in her head ain't never been used
                             D
Thinks she owns half of this town
G
Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose
        C9
And she beats her old man with her pantyhose
    G
And takes him out and buys him new clothes
           D                        G
That's the way that the world goes 'round

G
That's the way that the world goes 'round
    C9
One minute you’re up and the next you’re down
       G
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
           D                        G
That's the way that the world goes 'round

           G
Well I was sittin’ in the tub just a countin’ my toes
         C9
When the radiator broke and the water froze
    G
Got stuck in the ice without any clothes
                       D
Naked as the eyes of a clown
      G
I was crying ice cubes hoping that I'd croak
         C9
When the sun came through the window and the ice all broke
       G
I said son of a gun man that’s just a joke
               D                        G
And that's the way that the world goes 'round

G
That's the way that the world goes 'round
    C9
One minute you’re up and the next you’re down
       G
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
           D                        G
That's the way that the world goes 'round
