Lyr/Chords Add: Dollar Bill (Tanglefoot)

From: Yakherd

Hey Lads/Lasses,

My sister got me a Tanglefoot album for christmas and, naturally having been blown away by the band, I started trying to work out the chords to some of the songs (as there appears to be a reliable repositary NOWHERE on the internet) and ended up with this, for Dollar Bill off the Captured Alive album - pretty sure it's rife with errors.

If somebody could check this over and maybe let me know where i'm going wrong, they would make an old plumber very happy.

CHORUS

Am                c
Down to the river booze on the run
G                           Am
Here's Dollar Bill with his old shot gun
Am                   C
Jiggin' with the law, jugglin' the pay
G                      E
Make a lot of money and give it all away

VERSE

Am                            C
It's a Prohibition winter, the town is cold and dry
G                               F             E
Along comes William Allen with a twinkle in his eye
Am                                    C
He's got a place by the river you can drink away the chill
G                                    E
Just bang on the aircraft hangar and ask for Dollar Bill

By the way - when I typed that out, the chords lined up with the bits in the lines they were supposed to line up with... apologies

Hi Grishka,

Yes, that makes much more sense. Thank you!

Hey, guys! while we're on the subject of Tanglefoot songs, is there any actual collections of the Tanglefoot chords or tablature, like a website or book or anything?

and also, I'm trying to get the chords to 'Fire and Guns'

Do you think this works

Verse:

C                        Am               C                                  G

Fire and guns, revolutions, New York this is my last goodbye

(Am) Dm            F                Dm             F
Tonight I left it all behind, ooooooh, for upper Canada


Not sure about chorus, could be quite similar to the verse.

Not a problem - copy it into your word processor and change the font to a monospace font like 'courier new' or 'deja sans mono' and they'll line them selves up just fine.
