3  -5 -5  -5  -5*  5
I make a date for golf 
 5  -3* -3   5   5    5   -5  -3*
and you can bet your life it rains.
3 -3* -3* -3* 5 -3  -3 
I try to give a par-ty 
 3  -2   3* 3*   3*   -3*   3
and the guy up-stairs com-plains.
-1  -2   -2  -2   3   -1* 
I guess I'll go thru life 
-2*   -3   -3*  5     5   5    5   -3
just catch-ing colds and miss-ing trains;
3   3    3   -3   -3  -3 -2
Ev-‘ry-thing hap-pens to me.

3 -5  -5  -5 -5*  5
I nev-er miss a thing 
 5   -3* -3   5    5   5  -5   -3* 
I've had the meas-les and the mumps.
 3 -3* -3* -3*  5  -3  -3  3
And ev-‘ry time I play an ace 
-2  3*   3* 3* -3*    3
my part-ner al-ways trumps.
-1 -2   -2   -2  3  -1*
I guess I'm just a fool 
-2* -3 -3*   5   5    5  5   -3
who nev-er looks be-fore he jumps;
3   3    3   -3   -3  -3 -2
Ev-‘ry-thing hap-pens to me.

-3* -3* -3*  -3*   -3*
At first my heart tho’t 
 5*   5*   -4    5*  -3*  -3* -3*
you could break this jinx for me.
 -3*  -3*  -3*   -3* -3*  -4  
That love would turn the trick 
-2* -2 -1*  -3*
to end des-pair.
-3* -3  -3  -3   -3    5
But now, I just can't fool 
 5    -3*  5    -3    -3 -3
this head that thinks for me.
-3 -3*  -3*  -3* -3* -3* -3* -3 -3*  5 
I mort-gaged all my cas-tles in the air.

 3   -5 -5   -5    -5*   5
I’ve tel-e-graphed and phoned, 
5  -3* -3  5   5     5  -5   -3*
I sent an Air Mail Spec-ial, too;
 3   -3* -3* -3*  5   -3
Your an-swer was good-bye  
-3    3   -2  3* 3*  3*  -3*  3
And there was ev-en post-age due.
-1 -2  -2  -2   3   -1*
I fell in love just once, 
-2*  -3 -3*  5  5  5   5   -3
and then it had to be with you,
3   3    3   -5   -5  -5 -3*
Ev-‘ry-thing hap-pens to me.
