INTRO: G Am D G
#1.
G
It's a long distance phone and I feel
Am Am7
so alone here without him.
D
It's a crime and a shame that I ain't got
Am D
the change and don't you know that I'm worried
G
about him.
#2.
G
I've been all over town every street, up and
Am Am7
down looking for the man.
D
He's just a face in the crowd where the traffic
Am D
roars loud but don't you know he'd be proud to
G
give a helping hand.
CHORUS:
G
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me
Am
a dollar?
D
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough
Am D G
and I ain't got the money to call him.
#3.
G
I threw my pride out the door cause I've been turned
Am Am7
down before but I'll keep trying.
D
This type of pain is kind of hard to explain but the
Am7 D G
feeling's the same as like dying.
CHORUS:
G
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me
Am
a dollar?
D
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough
Am D G...........Eb
and I ain't got the money to call him.

Bbm Bbm7

Eb
You'll never know what you've done for this poor mother's
Bbm7 Eb Ab
son, a thirsty man just got a cold cup of water.
CHORUS:
Ab Bbm
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me a dollar?
Eb Bbm Eb
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough and I
Bbm Eb Ab
ain't got the money to call him.
OUTRO:

ain't got the money to call him..(Fade.)
