Hank Williams - I Wish I Had a Nickel lyrics

(g) they tell me little darlin'

That to- (c) morrow you'll be (g) wed

You thought that you would hurt me

But you (a7) hurt yourself in- (d7) stead

I'll (g) always be the same old pal

Just (c) as in years gone (g) by

I'll (c) just set back and (g) watch you

While you (d7) set alone and (g) cry.

Chorus:

(g) tears fallin' (c) down your pretty (g) cheeks

Tears you cannot hide and (a7) tears you cannot (d7) keep

(g) **they** are tears of sorrow and (c) tears of de- (g) light

I wish I had a nickelfor every (d7) tear you shed last (g) night.

I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you happi-ness

I hope that you'll forgive me for in-truding like this

I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years

I'll just set back and watch youwhile you shed those bitter tears.

Repeat chorus:
