[Verse 1]
 
G5*                       G5*
I've got a pocket full of pretty green
G5*                     G5*
I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine
G5*                     G5*
I'm gonna put it in the juke box
           G5*                         G5*       G*  G5*
It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade
G*  G5*               G*      G5*
    I've got a pocket full of pretty green
          G5*                           G5*      G*
I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter
G5*                         G5*    G*
He's gonna give me food and water
G5*                    G5*
I'm gonna eat that and look for more
 
[Chorus]
 
B5
This is the pretty green, this is society
C5                                                  G5*    G5*
You can't do nothing, unless it's in the pocket, oh no!
 
[Verse 2]
 
G5*                       G5*
I've got a pocket full of pretty green
G5*                     G5*
I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine
G5*                     G5*
I'm gonna put it in the juke box
           G5*                         G5*
It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade
 
[Chorus]
 
B5
This is the pretty green, this is society
C5                                                  G5*    G5*
You can't do nothing, unless it's in the pocket, oh no!
 
[Bridge]
 
         E               C
And they didn't teach me that in school
E                     C
It's something that I learnt on my own
E                             A
That power is measured by the pound on the fist
A
It's as clear as this
C  D    G
    Hey!
 
[Interlude]
 
G
