Buffalo Nickel

Am

[Verse 1]
Am
I walked up to the counter with a 
buffalo nickel
Am                                
Was gonna give him half, but 
                 E
instead he charged me triple
             Am
He said it's twenty on the money 
What you're paying for it honey
       Dm
I said man you must be joking, he 
said go ahead and try me
         Am
Now he's lookin' at me funny
       E                          
And my nickel's laying sunny side 
Am
down

[Verse 2]
Am
I hold out till I get myself a 
little bit corrected
Am                                
A hot collar isn't any way to get 
           E
yourself respected

              Am
And though I aim to be emphatic 
there's an awful lot of static
              Dm
'Cause you've got a lot of heart, 
but your moves are enigmatic
              Am                
And if you're acting too erratic 
          E             Am
it's my semi-automatic response

[Pre-Chorus]
G Am

E  E
Yeah
Am
E  E
Oh yeahh

[Chorus]
Am Dm Am E x2
   You and I (workin' around each 
other)

[Verse 3]
Am
I got caught upset-looking like a 
little shadow
So mad 'cause I couldn't shake the 
                 E
noise out of the rattle
       Am
It was mean of me to say, but I 
meant it when I said
                  Dm
That I guess I'll do all the work 
and I guess you take all the credit
       Am
If you read well then you read it
              E                    
And I'll just be a dog and shed it 
Am
alright

[Pre-Chorus]
E
Yeah

[Chorus]
Am Dm Am E x2
  You and I (workin' around each 
other)
E
