[C] [G] [C] W[C]ell I know a guy that's got a lot to lose, He's a p[F]retty nice fella, kinda confused. He's got m[C]uscles in his head ain't never been used, He thinks he owns half of this t[G]own.[G7] Well he st[C]arts drinkin' heavy, gets a big red nose, Then he f[F]ights with his lady, until it shows. He t[C]akes her out to dinner, and buys her new clothes, And that's the w[G]ay that the world goes 'r[C]ound. {C:Chorus:} Th[C]at's the way that the world goes 'round, You're [F]up one day, the next you're down, It's h[C]alf inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown, That's the way that the w[G7]orld goes 'r[C]ound. I was sittin' in the bathtub, a-countin' my toes, When the radiator broke, the water all froze. I got stuck in the ice, without my clothes, Naked as the eyes of a clown. I was crying those ice cubes, hoping I'd croak, When the sun came through the window, the ice all broke. I stood up and laughed; I thought it was a joke, That's the way that the world goes 'round. {C:Chorus.} {C:Chorus.} Did you ever stand and shiver While you were staring at a river? That's the way that the world goes 'round. (repeat...) {C:Chorus.} That's the way that the world goes 'round, That's the way that the world goes 'round. # # Submitted to the ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar archives # by Steve Putz # 7 September 1992
