Another Mans Gold

	  		

 
 

       F          C           G       C 
I was watchin? cartoons on a Saturday morning 
       F           (G)       C 
And I heard daddy start the truck 
        F                         C 
I came runnin? from the house and waved him down 
             G                    C 
Cause he was makin? a run to the dump 


F                                C 
We watched the Bears and licked ice cream cones 
F                     C 
Take a little walk around 
F                         Am 
I?ll never forget what my daddy said 
           G                          C 
The day we pulled that bike from the ground 


                   F                      C 
He said one man?s trash is another man?s gold 
         F                        C 
If it's thrown away it's free to take 
         Am                    G 
A little oil she?ll be good to go 
               F 
So I rode that bicycle home 
                  G 
Thumbs up, daddy honkin? on the horn 


         F         C            G      C 
I got my first job workin? on a dairy farm 
        F          (G)       C 
Drivin? tractor and bailin? hay 
            F               C 
I?d have to circle around a bog in the ground 
             G            C 
Where sat an old Mustang ?58 

    F                     C 
One evenin? I asked that farmer 
          F                     C 
Why that car was just wastin? away 
                F                                         Am 
He said you can have it for free it don't mean nothin? to me 
    G                   C 
And I couldn?t help but think 

          F                       C 
One man?s trash is another man?s gold 
                   F                      C 
What someone will throw away is a crying shame 
      Am                 G 
So I towed that Mustang home 
                    F 
Till she could be restored 
                      G 
I got that engine to roar 

And boy did that engine roar 

(Instrumental Break) 

          F              C      G        C 
It was an awkward blind date we met at a park 
            F            (G)      C 
She had her little girl taggin? along 
    F                           C 
Her beautiful smile hadn?t been out in a while 
          G                   C 
She was a hard working single mom 

     F                  C 
In time I learned he?d left her 
          F                 C 
He said ?I'm just way too young 
      F                      Am 
To be having a kid, I'm not ready for this 
        G                   C 
If you keep it I'm good as gone? 

                 F                      C 
He never looked back as she watched him go 
                 F                           C 
She stood there crying in the rain till one January day 
           G 
She had a beautiful baby girl 
            C                       F 
Tonight I tuck her in and read her stories 
             Am             (G)       F 
And hold her mama while the sunset glows 
             C     G                  C 
My two arms full       of this man?s gold 
                   F               C 
What some men will throw away is a crying shame 
            Am       (G)     F 
Those girls make our house a home 
              G 
Yeah my cup overflows 
                  F 
With this man?s gold 
             C 
This man?s gold
