A HANDFUL OF DUST

written by: Tony Arata

performed by:Patty Loveless on "When Fallen Angels Fly"

[Intro]

C

C

1.Break us down by our elements

F G

And you might think He failed

We're not copper for one penny or

F G G

Even iron for one nail

F C

And a dollar would be plenty

G C

To buy twenty of us

F C

Until true love is added

G C

To these handfuls of dust

F C G

C.Handful of dust, handful of dust

F C g C

Sums up the richest and poorest of us

F C G Am

True love makes priceless the worthless

F C G C

Whenever it's added to a handful of dust

2.However small though our worth may be

When shared between two hearts

Is even more than it would ever be

Measured on its own apart

And our half what it could be

Is now twice what it's worth

When true love is added

To these handfuls of dust

Repeat Chorus
