[Verse]
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
In a small town where all knew all, wondered a peasant lady nobody knew,
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
But her only friend was a young boy, brought her hot tea and leftover stew,
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
In those burnin' wintry Decembers, he'd pick dirty pennies up off the cold street,
G+G F#/G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G
And while his mother was out Christmas shopping, he'd say, "Come on in, warm your feet."
G, D, C, D MajorD - (2X)
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
As long as you share with me stories, so she spoke on the product of war,
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
My mother never knew who she could be, as my father lay drunk on the floor,
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
And she spoke of the cart that she wheeled, had keys with no locks, and guitars with no stings,
G+G F#/G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G
and a puzzle that could never be finished, But this is my home, and these broken things are...
[Chorus]

But the boy went on to be taught....
"But officer, I fondly remember you..
(Bridge)
G+G F#/G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G
They buried something inside of you, Officer, Into your cold heart, dig deep
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And you'll see
C majorC D MajorD
that it's me
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
And here I'll be, nothing new to me
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC
I'll be heartbroken and cold, frozen and alone
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC
My coffin was a dumpster and I didn't even know
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC
But while out on the beat, he looked down to the street,
G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC
and he saw a dirty penny heads up at hid feet
