_ [Am] _ [G] _ [C] I've spent a lifetime _ making up my mind to [G] be _ _ _ _ more than the measure of what I thought
[C] others could see. _ _
Good luck and fast buffs, they're too few and too far [F] between. _
_ _ _ [G] There's Cadillac buyers and old five-and-dimers [C] like me. _ _ _ _
She stood beside me, letting me know [G] she would be _ _
_ something _ to lean on when everything ran out [C] on me.
_ _ Well-fenced yards ain't whole carts, and like is not, never [F] will be.

_ _ _ [C] Well, it's taken me so long _ now that I know I [G] believe. _ _ _ _ _
All that I do or say is all I ever [C] will be. _

_ _ _ _ [G] Too much ain't enough for old five-and-dimers [C] like me.
_ _ [Em] _ [Am] _ [G] _
An old five-and-dimer is all I intended _ [C] to be. _ _

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
And they [C] don't shine other folks' boots [G] either. _
