INTRO: G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G

#1.
G+G
It's a long distance phone and I feel
         A minorAm   Am7Am7
so alone here without him.
    D MajorD
It's a crime and a shame that I ain't got
             A minorAm      D MajorD
the change and don't you know that I'm worried
 G+G
about him.

#2.
G+G
I've been all over town every street, up and
       A minorAm     Am7Am7
down looking for the man.
      D MajorD
He's just a face in the crowd where the traffic
             A minorAm      D MajorD
roars loud but don't you know he'd be proud to
    G+G
give a helping hand.

CHORUS:
G+G
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me
 A minorAm
a dollar?
    D MajorD
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough
   A minorAm      D MajorD    G+G
and I ain't got the money to call him.

#3.
G+G
I threw my pride out the door cause I've been turned
             A minorAm  Am7Am7
down before but I'll keep trying.
D MajorD
This type of pain is kind of hard to explain but the
Am7Am7      D MajorD      G+G
feeling's the same as like dying.

CHORUS:
G+G
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me
 A minorAm
a dollar?
    D MajorD
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough
   A minorAm      D MajorD    G...........Eb
and I ain't got the money to call him.

#4.
      AbAb
You put the change in my hand, you're the world's kindest
     BbmBbm      BbM7Bbm7
man and I thank you, sir.
       Eb MajorEb
You'll never know what you've done for this poor mother's
        BbM7Bbm7      Eb MajorEb     AbAb
son, a thirsty man just got a cold cup of water.

CHORUS:
AbAb                         BbmBbm
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me a dollar?
    Eb MajorEb       BbmBbm    Eb MajorEb
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough and I
BbmBbm      Eb MajorEb    AbAb
ain't got the money to call him.

OUTRO:
AbAb                         BbmBbm
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me a dollar?
    Eb MajorEb       BbmBbm    Eb MajorEb
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough and I
BbmBbm      Eb MajorEb    AbAb
ain't got the money to call him..(Fade.)
