Steve L finished this one from a lyric sheet of Mike's. Another mini-epic.
lyrics
NEW WALLET
A7 D C/D
yesterday i started a new chapter
A7 D C/D
picked my laminated cards carefully
G C F
slid in my trusty debit cards and extra key
A7 D C/D
utilized the see-through window for my best ID
G A
compared how it folded to the other one
D D/C G C D
decided the thin profile was all il lu sion
A
cause once I fill it up with
E7
calling cards and storage locker ID codes
E7 (add D from second string)
debit cards and rent-a-car
A7
three crisp twenties and the plastic Saturn key
G A7
it becomes my lucky bullet shield
D D/C
today is the first day
today is the first day
A7 (add D on 2nd string) to straight D
for my new….. wallet!
A
will this be my very last?
A
will I make it through this test
A G
will I fall apart before this one does?
verse 2
A7 D D/C
when I die will anyone review my wasted life
A7 D D/C
and sift for gold in my crinkled old receipts?
G C F
will they call to cancel all three credit cards?
A7 D D/C
Will someone ride the train downtown for free?
G A7
On me??
A7
my father’s wallet and my mother’s purse
A7
were all that remained
A7 D D/C
when I go please bury me with my wallet
G
My new wallet…..
D D/C
today is the first day
today is the first day
smash a G for a measure
A
But once I fill it up with
E7
calling cards and storage locker ID codes
E7 (add D from second string)
debit cards and rent-a-car
A7
three crisp twenties and the plastic Saturn key
G A7
it becomes my lucky bullet shield (3X)
