[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]

A*    F*    A*    F*
 
Am            F
  And one day I’ll come through
Am            F
  My American dream
A*             F*             G       C       F      C
  But it won't mean a fucking thing
 
[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                F      C
  So 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!
G          C                F      C
  Rags to rags and rust to rust       don't let me go!
G      C      F      C

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

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.
