Tom: Am
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
I walked up to the counter with a buffalo nickel
Am E
Was gonna give him half, but instead he charged me triple
Am
He said it's twenty on the money What you're paying for it honey
Dm
I said man you must be joking, he said go ahead and try me
Am
Now he's lookin' at me funny
E Am
And my nickel's laying sunny side down
[Instrumental]
G Am E E
Am
[Verse 2]
Am
I hold out till I get myself a little bit corrected
Am E
A hot collar isn't any way to get yourself respected
Am
And though I aim to be emphatic there's an awful lot of static
Dm
'Cause you've got a lot of heart, but your moves are enigmatic
Am E Am
And if you're acting too erratic it's my semi-automatic response
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
E E
Yeah
Am
E E
Oh yeahh
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am E x2
You and I (workin' around each other)
E
[Solo]
Am
[Verse 3]
Am
I got caught upset-looking like a little shadow
E
So mad 'cause I couldn't shake the noise out of the rattle
Am
It was mean of me to say, but I meant it when I said
Dm
That I guess I'll do all the work and I guess you take all the credit
Am
If you read well then you read it
E Am
And I'll just be a dog and shed it alright
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Yeah
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am E x2
You and I (workin' around each other)
E
