Fun song. So the first verse is the same chords as the chorus, but every verse after 
is the same chords as described in the third verse.
Five Dollar Bill
Corb Lund
Capo 2
Chorus
I Gwrote my new song on a five dollar bill
But I won't be able to Dsing it until
I get Dhot on the trail for to pick up the track
Of the dirty little thief and get my five bucks Gback
I first got the five dollars from a montana man
when he come across the line with a pistol in his hand
He said "Gimme all your money" but i got to his first
And I took his colts to and the whole first verse
You see you cGouldn't buy liquor in the B7states back then
So we sE7addled up the ponies and we lAoaded up the gin
Rode Dunderneath the shadow of the grande Old Chief
To get some DNorthern Rocky Mountain kind of tax Grelief
You couldn't count on the cattle when the market got down
And the veterinary bills to the doctor in town
Both kids needed shoes and they had to get fed
And the big old bank lien was over my head
Chorus
They wouldn't stop talking about Canadian Rye
Bouquet and palate and its crisp and its dry
In a seagrams bottle tasted mighty top shelf
I said "Well thank you very much sir I cooked it myself"
Of course that didn't wash with the boys down south
Judgin by the stream of colour comin outta their mouth
Though I cant figure why cause from where I stood
I got em just as damn drunk as any store bought could
Chorus
Solo
Well he came stormin' cross the border with six or eight guys
Some damn fool saw fit to deputize
But there weren't no sherrif nor a marshall in sight
I guys the lawman was up drinkin whiskey all night
He said "gimme all your money" but I got to his first
And I took his colts to and the whole third verse
But he picked my back pocket worked the five bucks loose
I had tucked in behind a can of copenhagen snoose
I wGrote my new song on a five dollar bill
But I won't be able to sDing it until
I get Dhot on the trail for to pick up the track
Of the dirty dealin' son of a gunnin' song stealin' chicken eatin' thief
and get my five bucks baGck

Five Dollar Bill

Corb Lund

Capo 2

Chorus

I wrote my new song on a five dollar bill

But I won't be able to sing it until

I get hot on the trail for to pick up the track

Of the dirty little thief and get my five bucks back

I first got the five dollars from a montana man

when he come across the line with a pistol in his hand

He said "Gimme all your money" but i got to his first

And I took his colts to and the whole first verse

G B7

You see you couldn't buy liquor in the states back then

E7 A

So we saddled up the ponies and we loaded up the gin

Rode underneath the shadow of the grande Old Chief

D G

To get some Northern Rocky Mountain kind of tax relief

You couldn't count on the cattle when the market got down

And the veterinary bills to the doctor in town

Both kids needed shoes and they had to get fed

And the big old bank lien was over my head

Chorus

They wouldn't stop talking about Canadian Rye

Bouquet and palate and its crisp and its dry

In a seagrams bottle tasted mighty top shelf

I said "Well thank you very much sir I cooked it myself"

Of course that didn't wash with the boys down south

Judgin by the stream of colour comin outta their mouth

Though I cant figure why cause from where I stood

I got em just as damn drunk as any store bought could

Chorus

Solo

Well he came stormin' cross the border with six or eight guys

Some damn fool saw fit to deputize

But there weren't no sherrif nor a marshall in sight

I guys the lawman was up drinkin whiskey all night

He said "gimme all your money" but I got to his first

And I took his colts to and the whole third verse

But he picked my back pocket worked the five bucks loose

I had tucked in behind a can of copenhagen snoose

I wrote my new song on a five dollar bill

But I won't be able to sing it until

I get hot on the trail for to pick up the track

Of the dirty dealin' son of a gunnin' song stealin' chicken eatin' thief

and get my five bucks back
