[Am] [Em]
[B] [G] [A] Poverty's stricken, but still I'm a-stickin' to the things I know to be thanks.
One red feather in the next day, [E] pickin' while I'm pickin' my yackety axe.
[A] Everybody says that I never will get [D] far keepin' out of work by pickin' this [A] guitar,
livin' on a shoestring, puttin' off things like a shave and a [G] haircut.
[A] Money don't matter as long as I scatter a little bit of happiness around.
If people keep a-grinnin', I figure I'm a [E]-winnin' with my good old yackety sound.
[A] City folks go around turnin' up their [D] noses and countin' their greenbacks and smellin' their [A] roses,
but I wouldn't trade my yackety axe even for a T-bone.
[D] I'm confessin' I never took a lesson.
All my notes are a matter of guessin',
hopin' they'll come out in some kinda [A] manner that'll make a yackety sound.
[D] So if you're in the mood and your feet start [G] tappin' and you feel laid back and your hands start [D] clappin',
then I'll have done what I wanted to from way back here, [A] diggin' my yackety axe.
