[Verse 1]
            F              G               C              F
Well it's a nickel for the fiddler, It's a nickel for his tune
       C              F                       G
It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon
           F        G          C       F
And it's a high holiday on the 21st of June
         C             F               G           C
And it's country music in the park and everybody's ruined

[Verse 2]
          F                 G                      C            F
Well it's fountains full of dogs and kids and it's freaky apple pie
             C                F                              G
And it's the ones who came to play and the ones just passin' by
         F             G             C               F
And it’s coats of many colors and it almost makes me cry
          C              F              G                 C
Lord it's ice cream on a stick and it's somethin' you can't buy.

[Verse 3]
             F               G         C            F
Well, it's a fiddler from Kentucky who swears he's 83
         C             F                            G
And he's fiddled every contest from here to cripple creek
         F                 G                   C                F
And it's old ones and it's young ones and it's plain they half agreed
         C             F              G               C
But it's country music in the park as far as they can see

Well it's a nickel for the fiddler, It's a nickel for his tune
       C              F                       G
It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon
           F        G          C       F
