What Some People Throw Away

by Aaron Pritchett

Capo 3 (Key of F)

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

Solo

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

"What some people throw away"
