{title:That's the Way that the World Goes 'Round}

{st:John Prine}

[[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 fella, kinda confused.

He's got m[[C]]uscles in his head ain't never been used,

He thinks he owns half of this t[[G]]own.[[G7]]

Well he st[[C]]arts drinkin' heavy, gets a big red nose,

Then he f[[F]]ights with his lady, until it shows.

He t[[C]]akes her out to dinner, and buys her new clothes,

And that's the w[[G]]ay that the world goes 'r[[C]]ound.

{c: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, a-countin' my toes,

When the radiator broke, the water all froze.

I got stuck in the ice, without my clothes,

Naked as the eyes of a clown.

I was crying those ice cubes, hoping I'd croak,

When the sun came through the window, the ice all broke.

I stood up and laughed; I thought it was a joke,

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

{c:Chorus.}

{c:Chorus.}

Did you ever stand and shiver

While you were staring at a river?

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

{c:Chorus.}

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

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