Intro: C#m B E (A) E
Verse:
E E (B7) E E
I was a rambler I traveled this land
A A E E
From town to town, guitar in my hand
A A E E
All I’ve to show for all of my time
C#m B E (A) E
Is nothing but the blues and nickels and dimes
She asked if I was a man of my word
But the rattle of chains was all that i heard
Soon she saw thru the smoke and the lies
And left me with the blues and nickels and dimes
Chorus:
C#m C#m E E
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
C#m C#m B B
All I’ve to show for all of my times
A A E E
When you’ve nothing left, you’ve nothing to hide
C#m B E (A) E
Nothing but the blues and nickels and dimes
C#m B E (A) E
The years they roll by so quickly now
Youth has escaped from me somehow
All I’ve to show for all of my crimes
Is nothing but the blues and nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
All I’ve to show for all of my times
When you’ve nothing left, you’ve nothing to hide
Nothing but the blues and nickels and dimes
