Nickel Song - Melanie Safka
C
Well, you know that I'm not a gambler
F
But I'm being gambled on
C G C
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
C
Da, da, da, da, de, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, de, da..
F
Da, da, da, da, de, da, da, daa
C G C
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
C
Well, I don't mind that they're lucky
F
But it seems that they always win
C G C
And gamblin' is illegal in the state of mind I'm in
C F
And if I had a nickel for each time that I've been put on
C G C
I would be the nickel man and I'd sing a nickel song.
|[Chorus]
| F C G C
|They're only putting in a nickel and they want a dollar song
| F C G C
|You know, they're only putting in a nickel and they want a dollar song.
C
Well, you know, I don't know so many things
F
But I know what's been goin' on
C F C
We're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong
C F
And if we had a nickel for each time that we've been put on

We'd all be the nickel men and we'd sing a nickel song
|[Chorus 2]
