I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Folks, you're looking at a man
that's getting kind of mad.
I had a lot of luck and it's all been bad.
No [A]matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never get out of this world [D]alive.
I'm a fish in poor throat,
the creek is full of sand.
My woman ran away with a hired hand.
No [A]matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never get out of this world alive
[D]A dis[G]tant uncle passed away
[D]Left me quite a batch
And [G]I was living high until the fatal day
A lawyer [A]proved I wasn't born,
[D]I was only hatched
Everything's against me
and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river
I would probably drown
No [A]matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this

[Interlude 1]
world alive
[D][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]Well I could buy a Sunday coke
and it would leave me broke
If it had your pair of pants
I would burn the coke
No [A]matter how I and strive
I'll never get out of this world [D]alive
If it was raining gold,
I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket
in my patched -up pants
No matter [A]how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world [D]alive
[G]Shabby shoes I'm wearing all the time
[D]Full of holes and nails
[G]Brother,
if you stepped on a worn -out dime
I [D]bet a [A]nickel
I could tell if it was heads or [D]tails
I ain't gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
Cause nothing's ever gonna be alright,
nor how
No [A]matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world [D]alive
