Intro: G Am D G 

#1. 
G 
It's a long distance phone and I feel  
                  Am      Am7 
so alone here without him. 
       D 
It's a crime and a shame that I ain't got  
                         Am            D 
the change and don't you know that I'm worried  
 G 
about him. 

#2. 
G 
I've been all over town every street, up and  
             Am          Am7 
down looking for the man. 
            D 
He's just a face in the crowd where the traffic  
                         Am           D 
roars loud but don't you know he'd be proud to  
       G 
give a helping hand. 

Chorus: 
G 
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me  
  Am 
a dollar? 
        D 
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough 
      Am            D        G 
and I ain't got the money to call him. 

#3.

I threw my pride out the door cause I've been turned  
                          Am    Am7 
down before but I'll keep trying. 
D 
This type of pain is kind of hard to explain but the  
Am7           D            G 
feeling's the same as like dying. 

Chorus: 
G 
Mister, can you find it in your heart to lend me  
  Am 
a dollar? 
        D 
For the times have been slow, I'm fresh outta dough
