G                D            G   D
Drop your silver in my tambourine
G                D              G  D
Help a poor man fill a little dream
D#                             G
Give me pennies, I'll take anything
     A#              G#                 G  D G D
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

Watch the jingle-jangles start to chime
Reflections of the music that was mine
When I toss a coin you'll hear it sing
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

Rub-a-dub before I walk away
Anytime you want, I'll gladly play
Money feeds my music machine
Now listen while I play my green tambourine

Listen while I play my green tambourine
