Terence Martin - Wooden Nickels guitar chord

Wooden Nickels

Terence Martin Capo 3

G

Put a pair of pennies on my eyes

C G

when I go up in smoke

G

Heads up on one on the other tails

A D

like I’m winking at some joke

G

And save a thought or two for me

C G

when you sit down to play

G (step down to Em) Em

I’m a fender amp and a genie’s lamp

C D G

Don’t rub me the wrong way

C G

Just whistle past the graveyard

C G

Keep your eye on the ball

C G

And don’t take wooden nickels

C D G

If you take anything at all

I went down to the roadhouse

I met my Cory there

She had legs as long as Kansas

And wheat field colored hair

She took my heart said keep the change

I haven’t seen her since

Now I’m driving to Missouri

Trying to find my common sense

(Chorus)

Put a pair of quarters in your shoes

When you go downtown

You can use them not to call me

When you don’t want me around

But if you need to telephone

Be sure to call collect

And I’ll be sure not to answer

Out of self respect

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

I’m a fender amp and a genie’s lamp

Don’t rub me the wrong way
