Tom T. Hall – Old Five And Dimers Like Me (Guitar)

C                                            G
I've spent the lifetime making up my mind to be,

G
more than the measure of what I thought others 

      C
could see.

C             G                  C           C7
Good luck and fast bucks they're too few and too 

      F
far between.

        G
There's Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers 

     C
like me.

C                                             G
She stood beside me letting me know she would be,

G                                               C
something to lean on when everything ran out on me.

C
Well, fenced yards ain't hole cards and like as not 

           F       G
never will be..the reason for rhymers and old five 

                C
and dimers like me.

           C                                     G
Well, it's taken me so long now, that I know I believe,

G                                       C
all that I do or say is all I ever will be.

C                                       C7          F
Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to see.

G                                                  C
Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me.

   G                                       C  F
An old five and dimer is all I intended to be.

C                                                     
You know country people don't shine their boots very 

      F
often.

                     C                         G       
And they don't shine other folks' boots either.

C
thank you.
