Melanie - Nickel Song


CAPO: 1st Fret



INTRO: F Bb F C F


Well, you know that I'm not a gambler
Bb
But I'm being gambled on
F C F
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song

Dadn da dadn da dadn da da da
Bb
Dadn da dadn da da da
F C F
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song



Well I don't mind that they're lucky
Bb
But it seems like they always win
F C F
And gambling is illegal in the state of mind I'm in

And if I had a nickel
Bb
For each time that I've been put on
F C F
I would be the nickel man and I'd sing a nickel song


CHORUS:
Bb F
They're only putting in a nickel
C F
And they want a dollar song
Bb F
Oh, they're only putting in a nickel
C F
And they want a dollar song



Well, I know I don't know so many things
Bb
But I know what's been going on
F C F
We're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong

And if we had a nickel
Bb
For each time that we've been put on
F C F
We'd all be the nickel man and we'd sing a nickel song, you know


CHORUS:
Bb F
They're only putting in a nickel
C F
And they want a dollar song
Bb F
Oh, they're only putting in a nickel
C F
And they want a dollar song



Well, you know that I'm not a gambler
Bb
But I'm being gambled on
F C F
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song

Dadn da dadn da dadn da da da
Bb
Dadn da dadn da da da
F C F
Dadn da dadn da da da, Da da dadn da da da


OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
Bb F
Da da da da dadn da da da
C F
Da da da da dadn da da da
Bb F
Da da da da dadn da da da
C F
Da da da da dadn da da da
