Taken from the GemsOnVHS version. Standard tuning, Capo on 2.
These are the basic chords, some more fingerpicking with hammer-ons and pull-offs going on here and there.
 
[Intro]
G C/G G D7 G
G C/G G D7 G
 
[Verse 1]
     G
Well travelling men can't go far
C/G
Can't make a living when you're living in your car
            G               D7              G
When you're low there ain't nowhere else to go
       G
So you wrote a few songs, put 'em on a record
C/G
Spending all your money, now you're acting like beggar
        G         D7                    G
And you say it'll come out one of these days
 
[Chorus]
     D7
Well hello friend, how are you doing
        C                G
Did you go downtown last night?
        C                          G
Did you get real loose and dance a hole in your boots
                       D7
Did you make it home alright?
        G                       G7
Well it hurts like hell but you know it's the truth
C/G
Some of us folks are just luckier than you
           G      D7            G
But you're dying, dying to keep trying
 
[Interlude]
G C/G G D7 G
 
[Verse 2]
         G
Then you had your woman who made it real big
C/G
Had to get stoned every time she played a gig
         G              D7           G
Cause if she stands tall you feel so small
        G
And you left her alone, started travelling again
C/G
Losing your money but you're feeling like a man
        G         D7                    G
And you say it'll come out one of these days
 
[Chorus]
     D7
Well hello friend, how are you doing
        C                G
Did you go downtown last night?
        C                          G
Did you get real loose and dance a hole in your boots
                       D7
Did you make it home alright?
        G                       G7
Well it hurts like hell but you know it's the truth
C/G
Some of us folks are just luckier than you
           G      D7            G
But you're dying, dying to keep trying
     D7
Well hello friend, how are you doing
        C                G
Did you go downtown last night?
        C                          G
Did you get real loose and dance a hole in your boots
                       D7
Did you make it home alright?
        G                       G7
Well it hurts like hell but you know it's the truth
C
Some of us folks are just luckier than you
           G      D7            Em
But you're dying, dying to keep trying
           C              D7            C      D7 G
But you're dying, oh your dying to keep trying
