G                                  C                G 
They tell me little darlin' that tomorrow you'll be wed 
                                           A7              D7 
You thought that you would hurt me but you hurt yourself instead        
     G                               C                G 
I'll always be the same old pal just as in years gone by     
     C                 G                   D7            G 
I'll just set back and watch you while you sit alone and cry. 
           

G             C                G 
Tears fallin' down your pretty cheeks 
                           A7                D7 
Tears you can not hide and tears you can not keep 
G                            C          G 
They are tears of sorrow and tears of delight 
                                 D7                 G   
I Wish I Had A Nickel, for every tear you shed last night.  
 
G                                    C             G 
I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you happiness 
                                    A7           D7 
I hope that you'll forgive me for intruding like this 
  G                                C                  G 
I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years 
     C                 G                    D7                G 
I'll just set back and watch you, while you shed those bitter tears. 
 
Chorus2: 
G             C                G 
Tears fallin' down your pretty cheeks 
                           A7                D7 
Tears you can not hide and tears you can not keep 
G                             C          G 
There are tears of sorrow and tears of delight 
                                 D7                 G   
I Wish I Had A Nickel, for every tear you shed last night.
