Intro

Verse 1
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
 
Verse 2
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
 
Verse 3
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
 
Verse 4
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                           D
And we both knew it wasn't his time yet
