          G    E
winds did blow.
      A                              B
Since then ill winds still follow me everywhere

I go.

He's been broke in every state and every major

And every time I trust a gal she lets me down.

Then I got to thinkin' and I lost my nerve and 
B            E
threw my gun away.
     D
They caught him down by the railroad track and 
A
run him out of town.
A                        E               A
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down.

Every joy I've known has turned to pain.

If I pick me up they'll come along and knock me 

down again.

He's gambled away every cent he ever made.

If I fill my inside straight somebody else is 
        E
holdin' spades.

He's been unfit and unqualified for every job 

he's found.
A                        E               A
And every time I trust a gal she lets me down.

E
by a thousand times.

       A                                     G   E
So, he turns to the open road and shrugs his mind.
        A                                    B
With an empty feelin' and a lonely heart without 
         E
a single dime.
       D                                        A
And we know that's how it'll always be til they put 

him in the ground.
A                              E               A
Yeah, and every time I trust a gal she lets me down.
