F#7             Bm               G
Will all your money, but you forgiveness

Keep you from sickness, or keep you from cold?

Will all your money, keep from madness
               F#7                              E7
Keep you from sadness, when you're down in the hole?

Cause you'll be down in the gutter,
                         G                     F#7
You'll be burnin' for cigarrets, burnin' for nylons
                 E7
In the American Zone

F#7                    Bm                      G
You'll be down in the hole, yeah, down in the hole

No ecape from trouble, nowhere to go

Down in the gutter, beggin' for cigarrets
              F#7                  E7
Beggin' forgiveness, all that you know
F#7          Bm                          G
Down in the hole, after diggin' the trenches
F#7
Looking for cover and findin'out there
             E7
Ain't nowhere, nowhere to go, nowhere
 F#7                Bm G F#7 E7 F#7
Nowhere, nowhere to go
               Bm                    G
None of your money, will buy you forgiveness
                F#7                 E7
None of your jewelry, none of your gold
 F#7                  Bm                  G
Your black market cigaretts, your American night clubs
 F#7      E7
Think i know where it goes.
 F#7               Bm          G
Something for nothing, all of your friends gone
                 F#7                        E7
Something for nothing, that's all that you know
F#7 Bm
There's something down in the hole
           G
Down down down in the hole
 F#7                         E7      F#7        Bm
There's something down down down down in the hole
