Dime
Cake
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIME - CAKE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Murray Lewis Email: Tuning: Standard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf Am Am7 Is a small reminder of a simpler time D G When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime G C Cmaj7 Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you Am Am7 When I’m on the ground I roll through town D G I’m a president you don’t remember getting kicked around I’m a dime I’m fine D G And I shine I’m freshly minted C G I am determined not to be dented D G C G D By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented I’m a dime I’m fine And I shine In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around Am Am7 There’s a ringle jingle near the underpass D G There’s a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash I’m a dime I’m fine D G And I shine I’m freshly minted C G I’m silver-plated I’m underrated D G C G D You won’t even pick me up because I’m not enough for a local phone call I’m a dime I’m fine D G And I shine I’m a dime I’m fine D G And I shine I’m a dime I’m fine And I shine G (to fade)
