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.
WGell, I thought I heard the captain say, "Pay me Dmy money down. Tomorrow is my sailing day, pay me my moGney down."
* Chorus: Oh, pay me. Pay me.
Pay me my moDney down. Pay me or go to jail. Pay me my moGney down.
*
GSoon as that boat was clear of the bar, pay me my moDney down, well, he knocked me down with the end of a spar Pay me my moGney down.
[Chorus] [Solo/Instrumental]
GWell if I'd been a rich mans son, Pay me my moDney down. I'd sit on the river and watch it run, Pay me my moGney down.
[Chorus] [Solo/Instrumental] [Key Change to Bb]
BbWell, wish I was Mr. Gates, pay me my moFney down. Haul my money in egg crates. Pay me my moBbney down.
[Chorus in Bb] [Solo/Instrumental in Bb] [Key Returns to G]
GWell, 40 nights,nights at sea, pay me my moDney down. Captian worked every last dollar out of me. Pay me my moGney down.
[Chorus]
