BmG9BmG7
Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad;
BmF#G9
I must have roused the devil's wrath
A#7A
'Cause all my luck is bad.
Melody:
Em9A9F#m7Gdim
I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains;
Em7AAm6B7
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains.
Em7C#m5-/7 F#7Bm7
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains ?
Em7A7D6
Ev'rything happens to me.
Em9A9F#m7Gdim
I never miss a thing ? I've had the measles and the mumps,
Em7AAm6B7
And ev'rytime I play an ace, my partner always trumps.
Em7C#m5-/7 F#7Bm7
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps ?
Em7A7D
Ev'rything happens to me.
Am7D7G9G6
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me,
Am7D7G9G6
That love would turn the trick to end despair;
G#m7C#7F#F#6
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me ?
Bm7F#Bm5-/7 E7Em7A7
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
Em9A9F#m7Gdim
I've telegraphed and phoned, and sent an airmail special, too;
Em7AAm6B7
Your answer was "Good bye" and there was even postage due.
Em7C#m5-/7 F#7Bm7
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you ?
Em7A7D D7M B7
Ev'rything happens to me,
Em7A7D
Ev'rything happens to me.
