Maggie And Terre Roche - If You Empty Out All Your Pockets
(You Could Not Make The Change)
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C F C F C (4x)
[Verse 1]
Before I went to jail
F C
When I was sayin' that I was free
You was lined up down the avenue
G
Just about as far as I could see
F
You got one eye on my dungarees
C
And another on my reviews
And a third one on the waitress
G C
She was straightenin' up the pews
[Chorus]
F
She was passin' around a basket
C
She was wipin' off the spoon
G F C
She was readin' the handwriting on the moon (handwriting on the moon)
[Verse 2]
You call yourself a handyman
F C
You can do anything with your hands
Telling me about your family
G
Telling me about your plans
F
Yeah, well I ain't got the belly for this
C
And you ain't got the brains
And if you emptied out all of your pockets, honey
G C
You could not make the change
[Chorus]
F
She keeps passin' around that basket
C
You keep droppin' in your dues
G F C
Instead of readin' the handwriting on the moon (handwriting on the moon)
[Verse 3]
F
Mine sure ain't the belly
C
And I know yours ain't the brains
And if you emptied out all your pockets, honey
G C
You could not make the change
If you emptied out all of your pockets, baby
G F C
You could not make the change___
