Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I know a gal got a lot to lose

 She's a pretty nice lady but she’s kinda confused

 Got muscles in her head ain't never been used

 Thinks she owns half of this town

Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose

 And she beats her old man with her pantyhose

 And takes him out and buys him new clothes

 That's the way that the world goes 'round

That's the way that the world goes 'round

 One minute you’re up and the next you’re down

 It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown

 That's the way that the world goes 'round

 Well I was sittin’ in the tub just a countin’ my toes

 When the radiator broke and the water froze

 Got stuck in the ice without any clothes

 Naked as the eyes of a clown

 I was crying ice cubes hoping that I'd croak

 When the sun came through the window and the ice all broke

 I said son of a gun man that’s just a joke

 And that's the way that the world goes 'round

That's the way that the world goes 'round

 One minute you’re up and the next you’re down

 It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown

 That's the way that the world goes 'round
