Patty Loveless - A augmentedA Handful Of Dust


INTRO: C majorC

Break us down by our elements
  FF     G+G    C majorC
And you might think we failed

We're not copper for one penny or
   FF  G+G    C majorC
Even iron for one nail


   FF        C majorC
And a dollar would be plenty
    G+G     C majorC
To buy twenty of us
   FF      C majorC
Until true love is added
     G+G      C majorC
To these handfuls of dust

CHORUS:
FF      C majorC  G+G      C majorC
Handful of dust, handful of dust
FF      C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
FF        C majorC       G+G   A minorAm
True love makes priceless the worthless
  FF     C majorC     G+G     C majorC
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust


However small though our worth may be
   FF    G+G     C majorC
When shared between two hearts

Is even more than it would ever be
     FF   G+G  C majorC
Measured on its own apart


    FF      C majorC
And our half what it could be
    G+G        C majorC
Is now twice what it's worth
   FF      C majorC
When true love is added
     G+G      C majorC
To these handfuls of dust


CHORUS:
FF      C majorC  G+G      C majorC
Handful of dust, handful of dust
FF      C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
FF        C majorC       G+G   A minorAm
True love makes priceless the worthless
  FF     C majorC     G+G     C majorC
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust


CHORUS:
FF      C majorC  G+G      C majorC
Handful of dust, handful of dust
FF      C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
FF        C majorC       G+G   A minorAm
True love makes priceless the worthless
  FF     C majorC     G+G     C majorC
