Hank Williams I Wish I Had A Nickel Lyrics

I Wish I Had A Nickel Lyrics

(g) they tell me little darlin',

That to- (c) morrow you'll be (g) wed,

You thought that you would hurt me,

But you (a7) hurt yourself in- (d7)
stead,

I'll (g) always be the same old pal,

Just (c) as in years
gone (g) by,

I'll (c) just set back and (g) watch you,

While you
(d7) set alone and (g) cry.



Chorus:



(g) tears fallin'
(c) down your pretty (g) cheeks,

Tears you cannot hide and (a7) tears you
cannot (d7) keep,

(g) **they** are tears of sorrow and (c) tears of de-
(g) light,

I wish I had a nickel, for every (d7) tear you shed last (g)
night.



I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you
happi-ness,

I hope that you'll forgive me for in-truding like this,

I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years,

I'll just
set back and watch you, while you shed those bitter tears.



Repeat
chorus:
