The Nickel Song
(Transcribed by Jim McGuire)


Well, you know that I'm not a gambler but I'm being gambled on
D          G                                   C
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
              G             D             G
Da dn da dn.................................................................
G                                           C
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
              G             D             G         


Well, I don't mind that they're lucky but it seems like they always win
D        G                                     C                    
And gambling is illegal in the state of mind I'm in
                  G             D                  G
And if I had a nickel for each time that I'd been put down
                                C         
I would be their nickel man and I sing a nickel song
                  G                D             G    G7


Chorus


They're only putting in a nickel and they want a dollar song 
         C                G                D              G
Oh! they're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong
            C                  G             D                    G



Verse 3 has the same chords as verses 1 and 2


Well I don't know so many thinngs but I know whats been going on
We're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong
And if we had a nickel for each time that we'd been put on
We'd all be their nickel men and we'd sing a nickel song


Chorus, as before I don't need to type this do I?
