A Nickel For The Fiddler(Chords)

	        
C      F              G7 
It's a nickel for the fiddler 
       C              F 
It's a nickel for his tune 
       C              F                       G7 
It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon 
           F        G7         C               F 
And it's a high holiday on the twenty-first of June 
         C             F      G7 
And it's country music in the park  
                C 
And everybody's ruined 

     F                 G7 
It's fountains full of dogs and kids 
         C             F 
And it's streaky apple pie 
         C                F 
It's the ones who came to play 
                          G7 
And the ones just passin' by 

     F             G7 
It's coats of many colors 
       C               F 
And it almost makes me cry 
     C              F 
It's ice cream on a stick 
         G7                  C 
And it's somethin' you canâ??t buy 

       F            G7 
It's a fiddler from Kentucky 
    C                  F 
Who swears he's eighty three 
         C             F 
And he's fiddled every contest 
                     G7 
From here to Cripple Creek 

     F                 G7 
It's old ones and it's young ones 
         C               F 
And it's plain they have agreed 
         C             F 
And it's country music in the park 
   G7              C 
As far as they can see
