Pistol Annies - Lemon Drop

lemon drop

capo 4

G
my muffler’s tied on with a guitar string
C
i owe $7000 to a bank machine
G D
’fore this car is ever really mine

G
but some fine day i’ll drive her downtown
C
get a burger and fries and a royal crown
D G
thankin’ god that i’ll never have to pay another dime

chorus :
C
my life is like a lemon drop
G
i’m suckin’ on the bitter to get to the sweet part
D G
i know there are better days ahead

G
i got dirty shirts and worn out jeans
C
i owe two dozen quarters to a washing machine
G D
’fore these clothes’ll ever really shine
G
but i got me a man who just don’t care
C
if his little darlin’s got underwear
G D G
i know someday i’m gonna be his wife

chorus

D
i got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
G
i’m payin’ for a house that the landlord owns
D
bought a tv on a credit card
G
it’ll take me ten years to pay it off
C
but some fine day i’ll be drinkin’ a beer
G
in a big backyard i own free and clear
D G
oh i know there’s better days ahead

G
so i’ll play my hopes and play my dreams
C
just like two coins in a slot machine
G D G
sayin’ glory hallelujah if everything works out fine

chorus

D G
lord i know there’s better days ahead

thank god
