Greenbacks Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]As [D]I was walking
down the street [G]last night
[D]A pretty little girl cam[G]e into sight
[D]I bowed and smiled and
asked her name
She said, "Hold it bud, I don't
play [G]that game"
[D]I reached in my pocket, and to
her big surprise
There was Lincoln staring her
dead in the eyes

[Verse 2]
On a [G]greenback, green[D]back dollar bill
Just a little piece of [G]paper,
coated with chlorophyll
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]She[D] looked at me with
that familiar desire
[Eb]Her [D]eyes lit up like they were on fire[Eb]
[D]She said, "My name's Flo,
and you're on the right [Eb]track
[D]But look here, daddy,
I wear furs on my back
So if you want to have
fun in [G]this man's [Eb]land
[D]Let Lincoln and Jackson
start [G]shaking hands"
On a [D]greenback,

[Verse 4]
greenback dollar bill
Just a little piece of [G]paper,
coated with chlorophyll
[D][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]I didn't know what
I was getting into
But I popped Lincoln and Jackson,
[G]too[Eb]
[D]I didn't mind seeing
them fade out [Eb]of sight
[D]I just knew I'd have some fun last n[Eb]ight
[D]Whenever you in town
and looking [G]for a thrill[Eb]
[D]If Lincoln can't get it,
Jackson sure will
[G]On a greenback,[D]

[Verse 6]
greenback dollar [Bm]bill
[D]Just [G]a little piece of paper,
coated with chlorophyll
[D][G][D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[G]
[D]We went

[Verse 7]
to a
nightspot where the lights [Eb]were low
[D]Dined and danced, and I was [G]ready to [Eb]go
[D]I got out of my seat,
and when Flo [Eb]arose
[D]She said, "Hold on daddy,
while I [G]powder [Eb]my nose"
[D]I s[G]at back d[D]own with a smil
[G]ing face[D][Eb]
[D]While she went down to
the powder place
With my [G]greenback,

[Verse 8]
[G]
green[D]back dollar [Bm]bill
[D]Just a little [G]piece of paper,
coated with chlorophyll
[D][G]

[Verse 9]
[D]The music stopped
and the lights came [D]on
I looked around and saw I
was all [G]alone[D][Eb]
[D]I didn't know how long Flo
[D]had been gone[Eb]
[D]But a nose powder sure
didn't take that [Eb]long
[D]I left the place with tears in my eye[D]s[Eb]
[D]As I waved Lincoln and Jackson
a last goodbye
[D]On a greenback,[G][D]

[Verse 10]
greenback dollar [Bm]bill
[D]Just a little piece of [G]paper,
coated with [D]chlorophyll[G][D][G]
