                      Em     D                 C       B7   
You had plenty money in nineteen twenty-two 
    Em           D          C       B7 
You let other women make a fool of you 
          C       Am7  C          B7  B7/F# Em 
Why don't you do right like some other men  do 
C          Am7   B7            B7/F#      Em  
Get out of here,    get me some money too 
         Em             D                 C     B7 
You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about  
    Em            D               C       B7 
You ain't got no money that will put you out  
C       Am7  C          B7  B7/F# Em 
Why don't you do right like some other men  do 
C          Am7   B7            B7/F#      Em  
Get out of here,    get me some money too 
   Em          D            C     B7 
If you had prepared twenty years ago  
    Em           D                 C       B7 
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door 
C       Am7  C          B7  B7/F# Em 
Why don't you do right like some other men  do 
C          Am7   B7            B7/F#      Em  
Get out of here,    get me some money too
