Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Acoustic

Nobody knows you when you're down and out - Eric Clapton

I had to play this song on school, and it took some time to find out how to play it.
I don't want i did it for nothing(except a good mark;)), so I shared it with you!

  Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine. 


I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins. 

'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,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
