BmGBmG7
Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad;
BmF#G
I must have roused the devil's wrath
A#7A
'Cause all my luck is bad.
Melody:
EmAF#mG
I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains;
EmAAmB7
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains.
EmC#m-/7 F#7Bm
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains ?
EmA7D
Ev'rything happens to me.
EmAF#mG
I never miss a thing ? I've had the measles and the mumps,
EmAAmB7
And ev'rytime I play an ace, my partner always trumps.
EmC#m-/7 F#7Bm
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps ?
EmA7D
Ev'rything happens to me.
AmD7GG
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me,
AmD7GG
That love would turn the trick to end despair;
G#mC#7F#F#
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me ?
BmF#Bm-/7 E7EmA7
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
EmAF#mG
I've telegraphed and phoned, and sent an airmail special, too;
EmAAmB7
Your answer was "Good bye" and there was even postage due.
EmC#m-/7 F#7Bm
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you ?
EmA7D D7M B7
Ev'rything happens to me,
EmA7D
Ev'rything happens to me.
