Regina Spektor – Lucky Penny (Guitar)

A
I didn't find

A
The lucky penny

A
So I flipped it

A
Over

     D
And left it for

F        G         A
Someone else to find

       E
And a dime

         D
Just in time

          A           D
For the little kid behind me

           A
To pick it up and yell:

      E              A
Hey, Mom, I found a dime

A
Then I turned around the corner

A
And I dropped another dollar

          D               F       G      A
Just in case the street needed some more cash

        E
In the end

           D
I made it home

      A             D
With nothing in my pockets

             A
Except some cigarettes

E          A
And some stones

A
I pick 'em up

A
When I go walking

A
Some are shiny

A
All are dirty

                D                  F      G       A
Some are just pebbles that might grow up to be stones

       E
As an adult

            D
No one can stop you

       A                 D
From getting your hands dirty

             A       E     A
When you're walking home alone

A
Then I saw a little black cat

A
Cross the street before a fast cab

D                 F       G        A
Flashed and disappeared into the night

            E                D
He glanced back with understanding

        A           D
Of a future life impending

         A                           E
And we both knew it wasn't his time yet

A
I didn't find the lucky penny

A
So I flipped it over

      D          F      G       A
And left it for someone else to find

       E
And a dime

         D
Just in time

         A           D
For the little kid behind me

           A
To pick it up and yell:

      E              A
Hey, Mom, I found a dime

       A            E
And a dime just in time

         A            D
For the little kid behind me

            A
To pick it up and yell

      E              A
Hey, Mom, I found a dime

           A
To pick it up and yell

      E               D
Hey, Mom, I found a dime
