A D Em
She walked into the Greyhound station in Syracuse, New York.
G
Laid forty dollars on the counter.
A
Set her suitcase on the floor.
D
And the man said, can I help you?
She said, all I want to know is I got forty dollars.
A
How far south will that much go?
D Em
Well, little lady, looks like you're in luck.
G A
Well, you can ride to South Carolina for under forty bucks.
D Em
And he pointed to a poster that said special of the week.
G A
Thirty-nine ninety-five, one way to Myrtle Beach.
So, she bought herself a ticket.
And she turned to walk away.
And she heard the man behind.
The ticket counters say, ma'am, you forgot your change.
This five cents belongs to you.
She said, when you're as broke as I am, what's the nickel gonna do?
[Refrão]
He said, this nickel ain't worth nothing for all that it will buy.
But with it, you can stand up straight and look folks in the eye.
And if you never lose this nickel, you never will be broke.
And you'll never be a loser, if you never do lose hope.
D Em G A
Well, she rolled across New York and down the Jersey Pike.
Across Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina in the night.
Rolled down Highway 17 through Little River and Old D.
And the sun was coming up when she got to Myrtle Beach.
And with her nickel in her pocket and her suitcase in her hand, she walked down to the
pavilion, looked at the water and the sand.
And the sunlight on the seagulls and the people on the pier.
G A
And the pelicans and the porpoises, she breathed that ocean air.
And her past just blew away on that cool Atlantic breeze.
G A
And for the first time in a long time, she finally felt at ease.
D Em
And she called her mom to collect from the pay phone that first day.
And her mom said, how you doing, honey?
A
And she said, mom, I'm okay.
D
Ain't got much, but it's enough.
Em
And I'll come out ahead.
G
And she held on to her nickel.
[Refrão]
D Em
And to herself she said, this nickel ain't worth nothing for all it will buy.
G A
But with it, I can stand up straight and look folks in the eye.
D Em
Cause if I never lose this nickel, I never will be broke.
G A
And I'll never be a loser, if I never do lose hope.
D Em G A
D Em
Well, she found a place in Surfside Beach early that first year.
G A
Waited tables in Myrtle's Inlet and called bingo on the pier.
D
And she made a lot of friends.
Em
And she somehow made the rent.
G A
And the money came real hard, but it sure was easy spent.
D Em
And by the first part of September, all her friends were gone.
G
But she didn't want to leave.
A
She decided she'd stay on.
D Em
So she worked part-time through December at a family pantry store.
G A
They laid her off on Christmas Eve, didn't need her anymore.
D Em
So she drew her unemployment forty bucks a week.
G
Hell her rent was a hundred bucks a month.
A
And still she had to eat.
D Em
And sometimes it came right down to that nickel laying there.
G
She held it tight.
A
She'd recite those words just like a prayer.
[Refrão]

This nickel ain't worth nothing for all it will buy.

Cause if I never lose this nickel, I never will be broke.

And I'll never be a loser, if I never do lose hope.

D Em G A
Well, twenty-four years later, on a very special day, a bride walked down the aisle and her
A
dad gave her away.
And she wore a golden locket that her mom had given her.
G
And inside it was a nickel.
A
And on the outside were the words.
[Refrão]
D Em
This nickel ain't worth nothing for all it will buy.
G A
But with it, I can stand up straight and look folks in the eye.
D Em
Cause if I never lose this nickel, I never will be broke.

And I'll never be a loser, if I never do lose hope.
