 Intro :
C   A7   D7   Dm7   G7
C                                A7  
Gee but it's hard to love someone 
                D7          G7            C
And that someone don't love you 
                           A7
I'm so disgusted  heartbroken too 
         D7                                         G7
Cause I've got those down hearted blues

        C                 F        
Once I was crazy about a man 
                                      E7
he mistreated me all the time 
           D7
But the next man I get 
                      G7                 C         D7   G7
has got to promise me to be mine, all mine! 

C                         F                           C
Trouble trouble  I've had it all my days 
           F                                          C
Trouble trouble  I've had it all my days 
          G7
And it seems that trouble
                                           C
Is going to follow me to my grave

                        F                                 C
I never loved  but three men in my life
  F                                                C
I never loved  but three men in my life 
   G7
My father, my brother, 
                                          C      G7
The man that wrecked my life
    C
It may be a week,
   F             F7               C
it may be a month or two, 
F
It may be a week, 
                  F7               C
it may be a month or two, 
        G7
But the day you quit me, honey, 
                               C        F   C
it's comin' home to you. 
              C
I got the world in a jug, 
F                              C
the stopper's in my hand, 
F
I got the world in a jug, 
                               C
the stopper's in my hand, 
      G7
I'm gonna hold it until you
                                     C         G7  C
meet some of my demands.
