[C#m] [D] [C#m]
[Bm] [E]
[A] Sitting in the [C#m] sun, [D] counting [C#m] my money, [D] fanned by a summer [F#m] breeze.
[E]
[A] Sweeter than [D] the honey [A] is counting my money, [F#m] those greenbacks on [A] the [D] trees.
[A] Comes [C#m] the summer shower, [D] drops of [C#m] rain falling, [Bm] sweeter than the Christmas [F#] chimes.
[F#m] Hearing [D] those [A] jingles upon the roof, shingles [F#m] like pennies, nickels and dimes.
[C#m] Though it's known [D#] that what [G#] I own [C#m] is [G#] not a large [C#m] amount,
[A#]
[E] fields [C#m] of gold [A] that I [B] behold [E] are in my bank [G#] account.
[D#] [F#m] Sitting in the sun, [D] counting [F] my money, [B] happy as I can [F#] be.
[E]
And [A] to [F] top it all, [F#m] when [C#m] shadows fall, [F#m] [A] I look to heaven and [D#m] I see
[D]
[C#m] there's a silver [Cm] dollar [Bm] in [F#m] the sky, [D#] shining down [A] on me.
[C#m] [D#] [D#] [G#]
[C#m] [F#] [C#m] [A#]
[E] [C#m] [F#m]
[E]
[C] [C#m] Sitting in the [C] sun, counting [F] my money, [B] [Dm] happy as I can [E] be.
And [A] to top [F] it all, [F#] when shadows [C#m] fall, [F#m] I [A] look to heaven and [G#] I see
[Bm]
[C#m] there's a silver [C] dollar [Bm] in [F#m] the sky, [B] shining [F#m] [F#]
[F#m] [E] down [A] on me.
[C#m] Shining [Bm] down on me.
