Verse 1

A             D
Before the List, I was so sad,
A            E
I had every trouble, You could ever have

All I could do, Was sit and sob
A
Oh Boo Hoo!

I had no money,  I was down in the dumps
A            E
Livin’ in the basement, And I just got Dumped

Guilt and worry, Pain and suffering too,
A        E        A
Oh me oh my, I just didn’t know what to do.
A
Oh Woe’s Me!
