Aaron Pritchett - What Some People Throw Away
CAPO: 3rd Fret
D A G
An old piece of rope held up his pants
D A Asus4 A
As I backed up he threw up his hands
D A G
So I got out and closed the door
D A Asus4 A
And asked him what he stopped me for
C D
He reached down and picked up a burlap bag
C C/B A Asus4 A
There at the city dump he showed me all he had
CHORUS 1: G A A blanket for the colder nights D G An old King James and a pocket knife Em G A Asus4 A A worn out watch and a lucky rabbit's foot G A A picture in a broken frame D G He said, "I wish I knew her name" F Asus4 A As he gently brushed his hand across her face A D 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 blanket for the colder nights An old King James and a pocket knife A worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot A 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 G What some people throw away INSTRUMENTAL: A 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 Bm Bm/A G What some people throw away F A Oh, it broke my heart to hear that old man say A D
