Key: E major
Verse 1
I used to take guitar lessons
from Dave Van Ronk.
Do you know that?
He's a folk guy.
And, um, he taught me the
guitar part to this.
And then I wrote the words.

It's called the Dollar Bill Blues.
Is this guitar coming up on there?
I don't know what I've been told,
you could buy your way to heaven
Went down by the Bowery Slum,
a conga drum
You got no work, no pay
Don't know, but I've been told
You could buy your way to heaven
The boys down on my street,
If I crack on a corner,
if I come down or sell them cokes
G
D
and fries uptown.
You don't know what I've been told.

you could buy your way to heaven
I don't know, but it's been said
which you're fed
so you can't be heard
live your life on stale brown bread.
Some say it's a mean old town,
but they said, no, girl,
we mean you and your friends.
Don't know, but I've been told,
You could buy your way to heaven
Don't know what I've been told
You could buy your way to heaven
