When Old Man Trouble knocks on your door

Don't give him no key, he just wants more

Break 

Am       G               F       G 
Woke downhearted and you feel so bad 
Am             G            F           G 
Somebody wants something of nothing you had 
Am         G        F         G 
Love don't come too easy, you see 
  Am            G         F             G 
A little bit of you and a little bit of me 

      Am              G                       Am 
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright in the morning

everything will be just fine 
G                       Am 
everything will be just fine 
                            G            Am 
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
