Penny To My Name chords by Eva Cassidy

SONG: PENNY TO MY NAME

VERSE 1
C                       F
Bill and I got married following our first-born
Dm                      Am                 G
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died
C                              F
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
Dm                              G                    C
Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago

VERSE 2
C			  F
Travelers are stopping by check their oil and their P.S.I.
Dm			 Am		 G
Gas up and away they fly moving down the line
C

But this beat up truck and worn out shoes
F
Always giving me the blues
Dm			      G
Bill is sucking down the booze nearly every night

CHORUS:
F                  G            C              F
I've never seen the city lights how they must shine so bright
C             F                D                G
Not like this country night the sky's black as coal
F                    G
And this gas station mountain home
C              F
Not a thing to call my own
C            F            D     G     C
I wish I was alone with a penny to my name

VERSE 3
C				    F
Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
Dm					  Am		G
But it's just a dumb old mountain there I see it every day
C				   F
If I could see a sunset skies over fields of grain or ocean tides
Dm				   G
City skyline in the night I'll be dancing till the dawn

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4

C			F
Bill and I got married following our first-born
Dm			Am		   G
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died
C			     F
Maybe Bill and I someday will find a chance to get away
Dm				G
Until then it's here I'll stay wishing on a star


 REPEAT CHORUS:
