I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Now you're [G]lookin' at a man
that's gettin' kinda mad
I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
No [D]matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world a[G]live
My fishin' pole's broke,
the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No [D]matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world a[G]live

[Bridge 1]
A [C]distant uncle passed away
and [G]left me quite a batch
And [C]I was living high until that fatal day
A lawyer [D]proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched

[Verse 2]
E[G]v'rything's agin' me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river, I would prob'ly drown
No [D]matter how I struggle and strive

[Solo 1]
I'll never get out of this world alive
[G][G][G][G][G]
[D][D][D][D]
[G][G][G][G][G]
[D][D][D][G]

[Bridge 2]
These [C]shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Is [G]full of holes and nails
And [C]brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a [D]nickel, I could tell you
if it was heads or tails

[Verse 3]
I'm [G]not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow
No [D]matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world a[G]live
[D][G]
