That's The Way The World Goes Round John Prine

(G) (C) (G) (D)
(G) (C) (G) (D) (G)
I know a guy that's got a lot to lose,
He's a (C)pretty nice fella, kinda confused.
Got (G)muscles in his head ain't never been used,
Thinks he owns half of this (D)town.
(G)Starts drinkin' heavy, gets a big red nose,
(C)Beats his old lady with a rubber hose
Then he (G)takes her out to dinner, buys her new clothes,
That's the (D)way that the world goes (G)'round.

That's the way that the world goes 'round,
You're (C)up one day, the next you're down,
It's a (G)half an inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown,
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round.
(C) (G) (D)
(G) (C) (G) (D) (G)

I was sittin' in the bathtub, countin' my toes,
When the (C)radiator broke, water all froze.
I got (G)stuck in the ice, without my clothes,
Naked as the eyes of a (D)clown.
I was (G)crying ice cubes, hoping I'd croak,
When the (C)sun come through the window, the ice all broke.
I (G)stood up and laughed; thought it was a joke,
That's the (D)way that the world goes (G)'round.

That's the way that the world goes 'round,
You're (C)up one day, the next you're down,
It's a (G)half an inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown,
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round.
(C) (G) (D)
(G) (C) (G) (D) (G)

That's the way that the world goes 'round,
You're (C)up one day, the next you're down,
It's a (G)half an inch of water, and you think you're gonna drown,
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round.
That's the way that the (D)world goes (G)'round,
That's the way that the (D)world......goes (G)'round.
(C) (G) (D) (G)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
