LUCKY PENNY (Ron Sexsmith)
Album: "Carousel One" (2015)
Capo 1
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Seems like you've been dining on the remix of the day
G C G
But with a song in mind I am sure the DJ is bound to play
D C G C G
A song for Sunday drivers who, like us, could use some kind of sound
D
She my lucky penny
G
When I ain't got a lousy dime
[Verse 2]
G C G
Well she's the one beside me when the world ain't on it's time
G C G
I need a love to hide me when there's nowhere left to hide
D C G C G
No matter how I try I find myself down on my luck sometimes
D
She my lucky penny
G
When I ain't got a lousy dime, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma ma
[Chorus]
F Am
She's my silver and gold
Eb Gm C
She got a hold of me, it lingers
F Am
When that sliver of hope
Eb Gm D7
Gets pulled out of my finger
[Solo]
G C G (x2)
D C G C G
D
She my lucky penny
G
When I ain't got a lousy dime
[Chorus]
F Am
Tried to give up the ghost
Eb Gm C
It's that hold on me that lingers
F Am
Go from pillar to post
Eb Gm D7
Slip beneath that rose within her
[Verse 3]
G C G
See the sunlight shining on the remains of the day
G C G
Keep a song in my love, to the tear stains on the way
D C G C G
A song for two hitchikers who, like us, could use a lift sometimes
D
She my lucky penny
G
When I ain't got a lousy dime
D
I bet my bottom dollar
G
When I ain't got a lousy dime, ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma ma, ma ma ma ma ma
[Outro]
