[Intro]
A* F* A* F* Am F Am F
[Verse 1]
A* F*
There's a spider crawling
A* F*
On the bathroom mirror
A* F* C Em
Right on top of my right eye
A* F*
And I can't stop staring back
A* F*
How did I get this way?
Am F G C F C
Take a big look at a living lie
[Chorus]
G C F C
Rags to rags and rust to rust
G C F C
How do you stand when you've been crushed
G C Bb
So rags to riches was a bust
A* F* A* F*
[Verse 2]
A* F*
Sometimes I dream about it
A* F*
What it's like back home
A* F* C Em
The railroad tracks and the pussywillow
Am F
But I had to leave it
Am F
Now I go back
Am F G C F C
Whenever my tired head hits the pillow
[Chorus]
G C F C
Rags to rags and rust to rust
G C F C
How do you stand when you've been crushed
G C Bb F
So rags to riches was a bust
[Bridge]
Bb F
Busted once again
Bb F
Well I’ll show them one day
Bb F G
That I can buy and sell the world
[Solo]

And one day I’ll come through

My American dream

But it won't mean a fucking thing
[Chorus]

Rags to rags and rust to rust
G C F C
How do you stand when you've been crushed

So rags to rags and rust to rust don't let me go!

Rags to rags and rust to rust don't let me go!
G C F C
Rags to rags and rust to rust don't let me go!

The only thing I think needs to be changed is the B to a Bb.
+4

1. Yeah, it's Bb and not B.
2. Towards the end of the first half of the verse (C and Em) he is picking the following, I think:
e|-----------------|
B|-----1-------0---|
G|---0---0---0---0-|
D|-----------------|
A|-3-------2-------|
E|-----------------|
E.g. it is Em/B really.
