SOMEBODY ELSES TROUBLES

    C                                  F
  Yesterday I went downtown and saw an old time picture show,
            C                     Am
  And the hero got a pie in the face,
  C                           F
  He didn't like that and he stormed around the screen,
            C
  But everybody else was laughing in that place.
    

CHORUS:
    

                         F
  That's 'cause it ain't hard,
                     C
  to get along with somebody else's troubles,
   Am                  F                 C
  they don't make you lose any sleep at night,
           Am              F
  Just as long as fate is out there bustin',
    C
  Somebody else's bubble,
    Am   F                  C
  Everything is gonna be alright.

I hope this comes out right. What I know about HTML consists of line breaks, which I learned right here on the Mudcat Cafe. It's really a great, easy song with the C-F-C-Am pattern, and the chorus starting on F, with a C, then Am, F and then C. The Am, F, and C. Then Am, F and C once again.

My description reminds me of an old John Hartford tune called "My Rag". Sorry, but I haven't figured out "Eight Ball Blues". If this comes out completely unintelligible, I will try to fix it. We need more Steve Goodman songs in this world.
