John Mellencamp - Nobody Cares About Me

intro : ( D ) G D A D

G D
well my wife she took off to memphis
A D
with some feller from our little town
G D
my mother’s at home up in baltimore
A D
and my Daddy is down in the ground

it gets awfully cold here in the winter
hot and humid in the summertime
i got laid off on account there’s no work for me
now i’m in the unemployment line

chorus :
G D
no one cares about me , no one cares about me
A D
no one cares about me at all
G D
if i had to guess it’s ’cause i’m spotty at best
A D
no one cares about me at all

intro

well my kids they’ve all scattered
went lookin’ for a better life
lost one of my boys to the drug , man
it’s the only time i cried in my life

and i knew this old guy once , he was kinda my friend
but he smoked himself to death
and they buried him out at riverview
now i’m all that i got left

chorus

intro

someday i’ll go look up my brother
he lives a few miles from here
haven’t talked to him in quite some time
i guess it’s been 6 or 7 years

well he works out there at the cannery
and i think he makes a pretty good pay
his wife , she never thought too much of me
so i just stayed away

chorus

intro

well it’s hard to say what kind of fellow i Am
but most of the time nothin’ goes my way
i must’ve done somethin’ pretty wrong
but i still it’ll work out okay

there surely must be some angels around the bend
and they’re tryin’ to get to me
i’ll catch up with them pretty soon
but for now no one cares about me

chorus
