Aaron Pritchett - What Some People Throw Away



CAPO: 3rd Fret


    D MajorD         A augmentedA   G+G
 An old piece of rope held up his pants
   D MajorD             A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
 As I backed up he threw up his hands
  D MajorD       A augmentedA     G+G
 So I got out and closed the door
   D MajorD              A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
 And asked him what he stopped me for
      C majorC              D MajorD
 He reached down and picked up a burlap bag
       C majorC      C/BC/B       A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
 There at the city dump he showed me all he had

 CHORUS 1:
  G+G        A augmentedA
 A augmentedA blanket for the colder nights
  D MajorD          G+G
 An old King James and a pocket knife
  E minorEm          G+G       A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
 A augmentedA worn out watch and a lucky rabbit's foot
  G+G      A augmentedA
 A augmentedA picture in a broken frame
  D MajorD        G+G
 He said, "I wish I knew her name"
    FF                 Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
 As he gently brushed his hand across her face
      A augmentedA       D MajorD
 What some people throw away


 I turned to hide my tear-filled eyes
 Then shook his hand and said goodbye
 To me it was just a second load
 But he held it like a bag of gold
 I was too ashamed to tell him at the time
 Everything he was holding was mine


 CHORUS 2:
 A augmentedA blanket for the colder nights
 An old King James and a pocket knife
 A augmentedA worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot
 A augmentedA picture in a broken frame
 He'll never know I knew her name
 What I'd give to put that smile back on her face
      A augmentedA       G+G
 What some people throw away


 INSTRUMENTAL:


 A augmentedA picture in a broken frame
 He'll never know I knew her name
 What I'd give to put that smile back on her face
      A augmentedA      B minorBm  Bm/ABm/A  G+G
 What some people throw away
    FF                  A augmentedA
 Oh, it broke my heart to hear that old man say
      A augmentedA       D MajorD
