The Hungry Doll Chords

(ver. 1)
Joey & Rory
[Intro]
 
G G G G
 
[Verse]
 
      G                  G
I was headed to the checkout counter
G                        G
Strolling down the Aisle
     D                  D
When a little girl with a ragged doll
G                G
Talked to me and smiled
G               G
She looked like she hadn't had
C                     C
A thing to eat in days....
D               D
As she held out her hands
              G
I heard her say....
 
[Chorus]
 
C                 C
Could you spare a nickel
G                      G
Could you spare a dime
   D                 D
My momma's been real sick
       G                 G
And daddy's gone all the time
  C                D
I need to buy some food for us
     G              C
Here at the grocery store
      D               D                G          G
So my baby doll ain't hungry anymore
 
[Verse]
 
         G                 G
Well, it broke my heart to hear those words
    G                       G
But I fought back the tears
    D                  D
And I lifted her up in my car
   G                      G
As she grinned ear to ear
   G                G
We filled it to the top with cans
C                 C
Boxes of milk and bread
   D
As her saddest word
     D                  G
Kept running through my head
 
[Chorus]
 
C                 C
Could you spare a nickel
G                      G
Could you spare a dime
   D                 D
My momma's been real sick
       G                 G
And daddy's gone all the time
C                  D
I need to buy some food for us
     G              C
Here at the grocery store
   D                  D              G        E
So my baby doll ain't hungry anymore
 
[Verse]
 
A               A
When I left her house that day
A                     A
She hugged me goodbye
    E         E
And as my car pulled away
    A               A
Teardrops filled my eyes
      A               A
Cause there's so many folks out there
D                    D
Without enough to eat
    E
Now I think of them
E                  A          A
With every child I meet
 
[Chorus]
 
D                 D
Could you spare a nickel
A                       A
Could you spare a dime
   E                 E
My momma's been real sick
       A                 A
And daddy's gone all the time
  D                E
I need to buy some food for us
     A              D
Here at the grocery store
   E                  E              A        D
So my baby doll ain't hungry anymore
    E               E      N.C.
Her baby doll ain't hungry
A          A       A       A
Anymore
