Worn Out Suits Brand New Pockets

Tom: G

         C                        F
They say money is the root of all evil
              C                              D
But if that's so they should make a saint of me
G        C
 Cos whenever things look up
        F              D7
I can depend on my bad luck
            C                G                    C
And I'll be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

[Verse 2]
C                                 F
They say a fool and his money are soon parted
          C                              D
And I can safely say I'm living proof of that
G       C
 In one hand and out the other
       F             D7
I lose more than I recover
        C                G                    C
And I'm wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

[Bridge]
     G
If I make more than a dime
            C
I know I'll lose it back in time
        D7                    G
Leaving me right back where I started

[Verse 3]
      C             C7
If my name was Rockefeller
        F                D
Yes I'd still lose every dollar
           C                G                    C
And I'd be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets
