I've got a pocket full of pretty green

           G5*                         G5*       G*  G5*
It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade

G*  G5*               G*      G5*
    I've got a pocket full of pretty green

          G5*                           G5*      G*
I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter

G5*                         G5*    G*
He's gonna give me food and water

I'm gonna eat that and look for more

[Bridge]
         E               C
And they didn't teach me that in school

E                     C
It's something that I learnt on my own

E                             A
That power is measured by the pound on the fist

A
It's as clear as this

C  D    G
    Hey!
