Bruce Springsteen - Pay Me My Money Down Chords & Tabs

This is a great song to play either by yourself, or in a group, just for fun. I love
this for all my dad's old friends using a Harmonica [Key of G] for the solos. It's perfect
just having fun and sitting on the back porch enjoying a sunset or around a campfire.
The key change to Bb [B Flat Major] is obviously entirely optional; sounds great either
Keep in mind, this is a very old song and this is just Bruce Springsteen's rendition of 
changed the words around, so you can too. Just have fun with it.

Well, I thought I heard the captain say,

pay me my money down."
