Tuning: Standard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel CCmaj7 In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf AmAm7 Is a small reminder of a simpler time DG When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
GCCmaj7 Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you AmAm7 When I'm on the ground I roll through town DG I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
C I'm a dime G I'm fine DG And I shine I'm freshly minted CG I am determined not to be dented DGCGD By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented
CGDG CGD
C I'm a dime G I'm fine D And I shine
G In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds CCmaj7 As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around AmAm7 There's a ringle jingle near the underpass DG There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
C I'm a dime G I'm fine DG And I shine I'm freshly minted CG I'm silver-plated I'm underrated DGCGD You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call

C I'm a dime G I'm fine DG And I shine C I'm a dime G I'm fine DG And I shine C I'm a dime G I'm fine D And I shine
