Thats the Way that the World Goes Round  John Prine

 
D[C]id you ever stand and sh[F]iver
[C]While you were st[G]aring [G7]at a r[C]iver[F]?    [C]     [G]     [C]


W[C]ell I know a guy that's got a lot to lose,
He's a p[F]retty nice fellow, but he's kinda confused.
He's got m[C]uscles in his head that ain't never been used,
Thinks he owns half of this t[G]own.[G7]
St[C]arts drinkin' heavy, gets a big red nose.
B[F]eats his old lady with a rubber hose,
then he t[C]akes her out to dinner, and buys her new clothes.
That's the w[G]ay that the world goes 'r[C]ound.
Chorus:
     Th[C]at's the way that the world goes 'round,
     You're [F]up one day, the next you're down,
     It's h[C]alf inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown,
     That's the way that the w[G7]orld goes 'r[C]ound.


I was sittin' in the bathtub, counting my toes,
When the radiator broke, water all froze.
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes,
Naked as the eyes of a clown.

I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak,
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke.
I stood up and laughed; thought it was a joke,
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

Chorus.

Chorus.

Did you ever stand and shiver
While you were staring at a river?

That's the way that the world goes 'round. (repeat...)

Chorus.

That's the way that the world goes 'round,
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

JP plays it like this with the capo on the 5th fret. These lyrics aren't too good but the chords are right.
