Lyrics

(Eb)Black cats creep a cross my path un (Eb7)til I’m al most mad.

I (Eb7)must have ’roused the dev il’s wrath, ’cause (F7)all my luck is bad.

I (F)make a date for golf and you can (Dbdim)bet your life it rains,

I (F7)try to give a par ty and the (G7)guy up stairs com plains,

I (Ebm6)guess I’ll go through life just catch in’ (G7)colds and miss in’ trains.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (G7)me.

I (F)nev er miss a thing, I’ve had the (Dbdim)mea sles and the mumps,

and (F7)ev ’ry time I play an ace my (G7)part ner al ways trumps,

I (Ebm6)guess I’m just a fool who nev er (G7)looks be fore he jumps.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (Bb)me.

At (Bb)first my heart thought you could break this (Eb6)jinx for me,

that (Bb7)love would turn the trick to end de (Eb6)spair,

but (A7#9)now I just can’t fool this head that (D6)thinks for me,

I’ve (C7)mort gaged all my cas tles in the (F7)air.

I’ve (F)tel e graphed and phoned, I sent an (Dbdim)“Air mail Spe cial,” too.

Your (F7)an swer was “good bye,” and there was (G7)e ven pos tage due.

I (Cm7)fell in love just once and then it (G7)had to be with you.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (G7)me.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (Bb6/9)me.
