[Verse 1]
Hank lived on the outskirts [Em]of town
In a box on the ground
[E]On a lot where a [Em]house
had burned [A]down[Em]
He read books by the fire
Collected cans for cash
Did odd jobs for widows who dashed
[D][Em][D][Em]
[Bm][D]
[Em]One day some folks come around
with suits and business cards
[A]The[D]y told him an antique died
and he was a millionaire
He said [A]no to the silver, no to the gold
[B]It made them [D]quiver,
he [B]was so [Em]bold[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]
[D]
[Em]I hanged at a job in an office downtown
In a room with 50 folks and 50 other
clacking [D]clowns[Bm][D]
[Em]One day when he'd met a
sale for 450 bucks
[D]He knew the woman on the other line didn't
have no idea how she'd been took
He said [A]no to the silver, no to the gold
[B]It made [Em]him quiver,
he [B]was so [Em]bold[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]
[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]
And they built a little bridge
And they built him a house
And they built a little statue
[D]In the cen[Em]ter of the[D] town
An[Em]d they learned lots of ski[D]lls
[Em]That they never might [D]have had
If [Em]a one man had not stood [D]up for
what [Em]he thought wa[D]s fair
He said [A]no to the [D]silver, [A]no to the gold
An[C]d made him quiver,
[D]he [B]was [C]so [Em]bold[C]
[Em]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [C]you were s[D]o [Em]bold[C][Em][C][Am][Em][D]
