Listen to the CD to get the strumming and picking sequence. Here’s the basic
Chords anyhow. Enjoy!
G D C G
There’s a penny on the floor and you’re gone, the television’s on.
D C
Have you found another man to take my place.
G D C G
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m wise, I try to see in your eyes.
D C
But all I see is a reflection of my face.
There’s a penny on the floor and you’re gone, I’m trying to right what’s wrong.
A stronger man might do it with more grace.
There’s a penny on the floor but I’m wise, I look up to the skies.
I cry and pray, and I stare out into space.
Chorus:
G D
There’s a penny on the floor, and you’re standing at the door
Em C G D C
Turn around and say goodbye. A woman like you comes around just once a life.
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m strong. I’ll try to carry on,
Realizing no one can take your place.
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m fine. I know it’s gonna take some time
Before I look at you without looking at my own face.
C D C D
Penny on the floor. I’m tired of the war. Penny on the track. Are you comin’ back?
There’s a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the days
That were spent with you, no one can take them away.
There’s a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the ways
You filled my soul with courage, hope and grace.
Repeat Chorus:
There’s a penny on the floor, and you’re standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye.
A woman like you comes around who won’t bring me down.
