[A] [Em] [A] [Em]
[D] [G]
[A] [Em]
[D] [G]
[E] It all started when I kissed you, you smiled [G] because you knew
[D] There was something set in motion, [A] all that currency could [F#m] move
[E] You led me to an empty [Bm] bench inside a [G] public park
[D] You made me wait and watch my [A] watch, watch the sky go dark
[E] I looked around and got nervous, I [C#m] heard her crying, crow
[D] In a tiny circle rode our [A] way, settled in the [Bm] snow
[E] You pointed at that penny, and it pointed back at you
[D] And our great emancipator told [A] yours truly what to do
He [Em] said we've all got money, we've all got time
[D] So let's sell the house, sell the car, [A] sell the deed to a copper mine
[D] Maybe [E] the Rock of Ages is just another stone
[D] A tomb is empty children, [A] leave this living world alone
[Em] [Em]
[D] [G]
[Em]
[D] [G]
[E] I grabbed your hand in a hurry, knew we didn't [Em] have much time
[D] We left the trail and [A] ran like hell to make it out alive
[E] We scurried under bushes like a [Em] few mouths from a snake
[D] I felt a tug upon my shirt sleeve [A] from beggar at the gate
He said [E] can you spare a nickel [Em] son, I'm down to my last two
[D] I said that I was done with [A] change, so a dollar would have to do
[Em] But when first I touched my wallet, then I realized my mistake
[D] And our great emancipator's big [A] green head began to shake
He [Em] said I'll see your penny, and I'll raise you ninety-nine
[D] Seems all your gods and prophets [A] never reach the welfare [D] line
[E] Maybe the Rock of Ages is just another stone
[D] A tomb is empty children, [A] leave this living world alone
I
[D] [A] [G]
[Em] [A] [Em]
[D] [G] [D]
[E] tossed away that green bag, and that beggar man just laughed
[D] I hailed a speeding taxi [A] cab before it hurried past
[Em] He asked me where to mister, up to six and fifty-third
[D] I looked at you, and he looked at [A] me, and he didn't speak a word
There was silence [E] in the city [G] as we passed [D] under the moon
And our taxi man [A] started whistling some old [Bm] antebellum tune
[E] He turned around to face us, neat little lights of Broadway
[D] And our tall man in a top hat [A] said there's something I've got to say
[E] I don't want your money, just a minute of your time
[D] You can sell your house, sell your kids, [A] sell your soul to the picket line
Maybe the [Em] Rock of Ages is just another stone
[D] A tomb is empty children, [A] leave this living world alone
[Em] [D] [G] [A]
[Em] [Bm]
