[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        
A dollar short of happy, can I get one from you?  A dollar short on Christmas, just a 
         G
smile won't do
C               C7             F         Fm    C                   Am                 Dm7
Standing on the corner with my dog named Blue, she don't know it'€™s Christmas, so it'€™s down 
     G7
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
An unfamiliar look of pain, on your face then did appear, How you gonna tell the folks at 
    F#7
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
