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
