Buffalo Nickel (CHORDS) by Shovels & Rope
[Intro]~
Em
[Verse 1]~
Em
I walked up to the counter with a buffalo nickel
Em B
Was gonna give him half,..!! but instead he charged me triple
Em
He said it's twenty on the money What you're paying for it honey
Am
I said man you must be joking,..!! he said go ahead and try me
Em
Now he's lookin' at me funny
B Em
And my nickel's laying sunny side down
[Instrumental]~
D Em B B
Em
[Verse 2]~
Em
I hold out till I get myself a little bit corrected
Em B
A hot collar isn't any way to get yourself respected
Em
And though I aim to be emphatic there's an awful lot of static
Am
'Cause you've got a lot of heart,..!! but your moves are enigmatic
Em B Em
And if you're acting too erratic it's my semi-automatic response
[Pre-Chorus]~
D Em
B B
Yeah
Em
B B
Oh yeahh
[Chorus]~
Em Am Em B
You and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other)
B
[Solo]~
Em
[Verse 3]~
Em
I got caught upset-looking like a little shadow
B
So mad 'cause I couldn't shake the noise out of the rattle
Em
It was mean of me to say,..!! but I meant it when I said
Am
That I guess I'll do all the work and I guess you take all the credit
Em
If you read well then you read it
B Em
And I'll just be a dog and shed it alright
[Pre-Chorus]~
B
Yeah
[Chorus]~
Em Am Em B
You and I (workin' around each other)
You and I (workin' around each other)
