hammer – on the a string during the G6 chord if playing with a band ( optional if alone )
hammer – on both finger changes between C and Fmaj7 if playing with a band ( again ,
optional if alone )

G6 is played : 320000
intro : repeat C Fmaj7 until start .
C Fmaj7
i’ve been drooling
C Fmaj7
at some mangy scraps of bread
C Fmaj7
and these hungry voices
C Fmaj7
make a lot of noise inside my head
G6
show me the way to the rubbish dump
Fmaj7
or the bins at closing time
C Fmaj7
i’d walk a mile just to catch a smile
C Fmaj7
from a fish without its prime
Am C
leftovers is what i want
Am C
don’t need no fine cuisine
Am C
give me a dime for bacon rind
Am C
or slip me some of that old sardine
been hanging round the underground
found a couple of crumbs down there
was lucky and got some flotsam
from a girl with long brown hair
she said her name was mary may
and she liked the springtime , oh
she said she left the meal half ate
she said she left the crusts of toast
leftovers is what i want
don’t need no fine cuisine
give me a dime for bacon rind
or slip me some of that old sardine
she’d been seeing a man named jim
i said i didn’t mind
said the second place is just my style
i’d glasses for the line
i felt she was keen to come
and i knew i’d met my match
i was sure that i had locked the door
and she had dropped the latch
leftovers is what i want
don’t need no fine cuisine
give me a dime for bacon rind
or slip me some of that old sardine
i said , “bring your dark eyes honey”
she said , “you bring yours”
said i don’t take second glance
so she walked out the door
i walked after her , it weighed me down
and asked her why she left
she said she only dealt leftovers
and that all else felt like theft
leftovers is what i want
don’t need no fine cuisine
give me a dime for bacon rind
or slip me some of that old sardine
leftovers is what i want
don’t need no fine cuisine
give me a dime for bacon rind
or slip me some of that old sardine
if you see her say hello
she’ll be out handing scraps
but don’t be fooled , her heart is ruled
by forces off the maps
show me the way to the rubbish dump
or the bins at closing time
i’d walk a mile just to catch a smile
from a fish without its prime
leftovers is what i want
don’t need no fine cuisine
give me a dime for bacon rind
