Hoyt Axton Greenback Dollar Lyrics

Also the Em? ?Em bits ?? release fingers periodically and play open strings(+palm muted) for a single strum, listen carefully and you??ll hear it.
Intro: Em | G | Em | G | Em ...
?(Em) G C G
Some people say I'm a no count, others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should.
Chorus:
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can...... for a wailin song and a good guitar
The only thing that I understand, oh yeah
The only thing that I understand, oh yeah.
?(Em) G C G
When I was a little baby, my mama she said "Son.
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung."
Chorus:
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can.... for a wailin song and a good guitar
The only thing that I understand, poor boy
The only thing that I understand.
Now that I'm a grown man, I've travelled here and there
And I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
Are the only ones who care, oh Lord
The only ones who care.
Chorus:
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can...... for a wailin song and a good guitar
The only thing that I understand, oh yeah
The only thing that I understand, oh yeah.
Some people say I'm a no count, others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should.
Chorus:
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can...... for a wailin song and a good guitar
The only thing that I understand, oh yeah
The only thing that I understand
That's all that I understand, poor boy
That's all that I understand...
