[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Well, Johnny was a gambling man
D
Bet away his living on a showroom floor one night
D
Sold his coat for a bus fare home
D
Just enough to get by
G
Man on the red line ask him if he's alright
D
Johnny said, "I'll be fine"
D
Pulled out a soft pack and hit it like a ball bat
A
Left hand Lucky Strike
[Chorus]
D G D
When money gets low, people get high
A
Making deals with God like "I swear I'll never do it again"
D G D
There's all kind of folk, some say grace and some blow smoke
A D
People get high when money gets low
[Post-Chorus]
D
(Low, low, low, low)
D
(Low, low, low)
[Verse 2]
D
Oh, Tammy got a facelift, heavy on the lipstick
D
Preacher's wife grips and grins
D
Same seat, front row, keeping up with the Jones
D
Pocketbook's running thin
G
Spent the grocery money on overpriced heels
D
And a bag of secondhand pills
D
Cutting deals with the devil
A
But praying Hail Marys when the sermons don't pay the bills
[Chorus]
D G D
When money gets low (When money gets low), people get high
A
Making deals with God like "I swear I'll never do it again"
D G D
There's all kind of folk, some say grace and some blow smoke
A D
People get high when money gets low
[Post-Chorus]
D
(Low, low, low, low)
D
(Low, low, low)
[Bridge]
D
Well, [?][1:52] there's all kinds of folks
G D
All kinds of high when the money gets low
D
Some hit their knees
G
Some get stoned
[Chorus]
D G D
When money gets low (When money gets low), people get high, high, high
A
Making deals with God like "I swear I'll never do it again"
D G D
There's just all kind of folk, some say grace and some blow smoke
A D
People get high when money gets low
[Outro]
D
(Low, low, low, low)
D
(Low, low, low)
D G
Oh, low, low, low, low (Low, low, low, low)
D
Low, low, low (Low, low, low)
