Tom: D
Bm G9 Bm G7
Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad;
Bm F# G9
I must have roused the devil's wrath
Bb7 A
'Cause all my luck is bad.
Melody:
Em9 A9 F#m7 Gdim
I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains;
Em7 A Am6 B7
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains.
Em7 C#m5-/7 F#7 Bm7
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains -
Em7 A7 D6
Ev'rything happens to me.
Em9 A9 F#m7 Gdim
I never miss a thing - I've had the measles and the mumps,
Em7 A Am6 B7
And ev'rytime I play an ace, my partner always trumps.
Em7 C#m5-/7 F#7 Bm7
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps -
Em7 A7 D
Ev'rything happens to me.
Am7 D7 G9 G6
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me,
Am7 D7 G9 G6
That love would turn the trick to end despair;
G#m7 C#7 F# F#6
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me -
Bm7 F# Bm5-/7 E7 Em7 A7
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
Em9 A9 F#m7 Gdim
I've telegraphed and phoned, and sent an airmail special, too;
Em7 A Am6 B7
Your answer was "Good bye" and there was even postage due.
Em7 C#m5-/7 F#7 Bm7
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you -
Em7 A7 D D7M B7
Ev'rything happens to me,
Em7 A7 D
Ev'rything happens to me.
