For A Few Dollars More (Smokie)
[Verse 1]
G Am
Rich girl, she buys her dreams
C G
It's a rich world, behind the scenes
G Am
Green eyes, they tell ist all
C D7 G
The more she takes, the harder they fall
G Am
She ain't easy, she ain't tough
C G
She's had it good, she's had it rough
G Am
And I guess it dont't come too much
C D7 G
But all she's got, she ain't got enough
[Chorus]
G Am
And she cry just a little for a few dollars more
C G
She'll lie just a little like she's done it before
Am
She'll take it, she'll fake it, for a few dollars more
C D
She'll show you her heart, and then
C D D7
She'll show you the door
G Am
You know she'll die just a little for a few dollars more
C G
Even fly just a little like she's done it before
Am
She'll take it, she'll fake it, for a few dollars more
C D
She'll show you her heart, and then
C D G
She'll show you the door
[Verse 2]
G Am
Strange things can happen to you
C G
When you got so much, you got nothin' to do
G Am
Nooow, what do 'ya know
C G
How'd ya get there, and there's now where to go
G Am
So you wonder, just what you'll do
C G
She's never known love, but then she's never known you
G Am
And it's true that those sad green eyes
C D7 G
Are so full of questions, are so full of lies
[Chorus]
G Am
And she cry just a little for a few dollars more
C G
She'll lie just a little like she's done it before
Am
She'll take it, she'll fake it, for a few dollars more
C D
She'll show you her heart, and then
C D D7
She'll show you the door
G Am
You know she'll die just a little for a few dollars more
C G
Even fly just a little like she's done it before
Am
She'll take it, she'll fake it, for a few dollars more
C D
She'll show you her heart, and then
C D G
She'll show you the door
