Key: B

Introduction:

Bm                                            G9                                 Bm                                    G7  
Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad
        Bm                      F#                      G9  
I must have roused the devil's wrath
                     Bb7                            A  
'Cause all my luck is bad
Melody
     Em9                                    A9                                    F#m7                                        
I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains
  Em7                                 A                                 Am6                                      B7  
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains
        Em7                                    C#m7(5-)                                    F#7                                         Bm7  
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains
Em7                      A7                    D6  
Ev'rything happens to me
        Em9                         A9                                    F#m7                                
I never miss a thing I've had the measles and the mumps
             Em7                    A                                      Am6                                 B7  
And ev'rytime I play an ace, my partner always trumps
        Em7                              C#m7(5-)                         F#7                                    Bm7  
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Em7                    A7                         D  
Ev'rything happens to me
Bridge
          Am7                                                    D7                                                 G9                            G6  
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
                Am7                                            D7                                    G9            G6  
That love would turn the trick to end despair
             G#m7                                 C#7                                            F#                            F#6  
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
                  Bm7            F#            Bm7(5-)      E7              Em7                 A7  
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
                Em9                                 A9                                              F#m7                                   
I've telegraphed and phoned, and sent an airmail special, too
                Em7                                    A                                            Am6                            B7  
Your answer was "Good bye" and there was even postage due
     Em7                                      C#m7(5-)                              F#7                              Bm7  
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you
Em7                      A7                      D         D7+         B7  
Ev'rything happens to me
Em7                      A7                      D  
Ev'rything happens to me
