[No Intro - Singing on the note A for the word "A" in the first line opens the song]


[Chorus]
  C               Am     Dm                 G       C               Am         Dm                 G
A dollar short of happy, can I get one from you?  A dollar short on Christmas, just a smile won't do
C               C7             F         Fm    C                   Am                 Dm7     G7
Standing on the corner with my dog named Blue, she don't know it'€™s Christmas, so it'€™s down to you

[Verse]
C               E               F             Fm    C                Bb               A7
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, turn a darker gray, than any Russian playwright would allow
   F                          C           A7          Dm7             G7    C     C7
Al-though it's been said, many times, many ways, I'€™m a dollar short of happy now

[Bridge]
    F                                                     A7
You pulled up to the light, the phone up to your ear, the deal has fallen through, your job has gone
    D                               D7                            Dm7                     G7    F#7
An unfamiliar look of pain, on your face then did appear, How you gonna tell the folks at home?
   F7                                            C7                                     A7
No more private schools or exercise machines, no more crazy nannies getting high in the S.U.V

[Chorus]
Dm7            Em            Em7b5          A7     Dm              G     C    Am
Meet me on the corner, we'€™ll get along some-how, A dollar short of happy now

[Break] 
Dm7   G   C   Am   Dm7   G   C   C7   F   Fm   C   G   C   C
(ad lib vocals)

[Outro]
Dm7            Em            Em7b5          A7     Dm              G     C   
Meet me on the corner, we'€™ll get along some-how, A dollar short of happy now
