greenback dollar chords
the kingston trio

Em
some people say i’m a no count

others say i’m no good

but i’m just a natural born traveling man
D Em
doin’ what i think i should , oh yea
D Em
doin’ what i think i should

G C G C
and i don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar
G C G C
spend it fast as a can
G C G C
but a wailing song a good guitar
D Em
the only thing that i understand , poor boy
D Em
the only thing that i understand

when i was a little baby
my mama said hey son
travel where you will and learn to be a man
and sing what must be sung , poor boy
sing what must be sung

G C G C
and i don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar
G C G C
spend it fast as a can
G C G C
but a wailing song a good guitar
D Em
the only thing that i understand , poor boy
D Em
the only thing that i understand

now that i’ve grown to be a man
i’ve traveled here and there
i’ve learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
the only ones who ever cared , poor boy
the only one’s who ever cared

G C G C
and i don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar
G C G C
spend it fast as a can
G C G C
but a wailing song a good guitar
D Em
the only thing that i understand , poor boy

D Em
the only thing that i understand
