Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 4]

{Refrain}
I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I need (hey, hey)
Well I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I need, (hey, hey)
And I said I need dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

/ Em D Am - / / / Em D Am AmB7 /

Bad times are coming and I reap what I don't sow (hey, hey)
Well let me tell you something all that glitters ain't gold (hey, hey)
It's been a long old trouble, long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load

I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need (hey, hey)
Well I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar that's what I need

   _ Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
   _ 'Cause everything around me is falling down
   _ And all I want is for someone to help me

   / Bm Em Am - / / Bm Em Am B7 /

I had a job but the boss man let me go (he said)
I'm sorry but I won't be needing your help no more (I said)
Please mister boss man I need this job more than you know
But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door

{Refrain}

   _ Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
   _ 'Cause everything around me is crumblin' down
   _ And all I want is for someone to help me

What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
Is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe its inside the bottle, maybe its inside the bottle

/ Bm Am Bm Am / / Am - - - / N.C. /

I had some good old buddy, his names is whiskey and wine (hey, hey)
And for my good old buddy, I spent my last dime (hey, hey)
My wine is good to me, it helps me pass the time
And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than sunshine (hey, hey)

Your mama may have missed, a child that's got his own (hey, hey)
If god has plans for me, I hope it ain't written in stone, (hey hey)
Because I've been working, working myself down to the bone
And I swear on grandpas grave, I'll be paid when I come home, (hey hey)

{Refrain}

Come on share your dollar with me, go ahead share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar give me your dollar, share your dollar with me
Come on share your dollar with me
