Greenback Dollar Ukulele Chords
[Em]Some people say I’m a [G]no count,
[Em]others say I’m no [G]good,
But [C7]I’m just a natural born [G]traveling man,
[D]Doing what I think I should, [Em]oh yeah,
[D]Doing what I think I [Em]should.
And I [G]don’t give a [C]damn about a [G]greenback [C]dollar,
[G]Spend it [C]fast as I [G]can,
[C]For a [G]wailing [C]song, and a [G]good gui[C]tar,
The [D]only thing that I understand, [Em]poor boy,
The [D]only thing that I under[Em]stand.
[Em]When I was a little [G]babe, [C]my mama said, “hey [G]son,
[G]Travel where you [C]will, and [G]grow to be a man,
And [D]sing what must be sung, [Em]poor boy,
[D]Sing what must be [Em]sung.”
And I [G]don’t give a [C]damn about a [G]greenback [C]dollar,
[G]Spend it [C]fast as I [G]can,
[C]For a [G]wailing [C]song, and a [G]good gui[C]tar,
The [D]only thing that I understand, [Em]poor boy,
The [D]only thing that I under[Em]stand.
[Em]Now that I’m a [G]grown man, I’ve travelled [Em]here and [G]there,
I’ve [C7]learned that a bottle of [G]brandy and a song,
The [D]only ones who ever cared, [Em]poor boy,
The [D]only ones who ever [Em]cared
And I [G]don’t give a [C]damn about a [G]greenback [C]dollar,
[G]Spend it [C]fast as I [G]can,
[C]For a [G]wailing [C]song, and a [G]good gui[C]tar,
The [D]only thing that I understand, [Em]poor boy,
The [D]only thing that I under[Em]stand.
