[Intro]
Em G Em G

[Verse 1:]
Em           G  C                         G
I should know to leave them home
Em                G                                         C                         G
They follow me through the store with these toys I can't afford
Em     G                                A7                     Cmaj7
Kids, take them back, you know better than that
                 Em                             G
Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. games, airplanes
          A7                              Cmaj7
They don't understand and how can I explain?

[Chorus 1:]
G D/F#    Em       D         C
I try and try but I can't save
G            D/F#      Em      D     C
Pennies, nickels dollars slip away
G     D/F#        Em         D         C
I've tried and tried but I can't save

[Verse 2:]
Em     G                   C                   G
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure
Em                  G               C                         G
All night with alcohol to cool and rub her down
Em            G             A7                 Cmaj7
Ruby, I'm tired, try and get some sleep
              Em                     G
I'm adding doctor's fees to remedies
A7                  Cmaj7
With the cost of three day's work lost

[Ulangi Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2:]
        G          D/F#        Em         D  C
The hole in my pocketbook is growing
C                               D
There's a new wind blowing they say
       G                                Em
It's gonna be a cold, cold one
      C                          D
So brace yourselves my darlings
     G            D C
It won't bring anything much our way
                        Em
But more bust bowl days

[Verse 3:]
Em    G                   C                     G
I played a card in this weeks game
Em                  G               C                     G
Took the first and the last letters in three of their names
Em           G              A7                Cmaj7
This lottery's been building up for weeks
            Em                        G
I could be lucky me with the five million prize
A7               Cmaj7
Tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes

[Ulangi Chorus 1]

[Ulangi Chorus 2]
