Aaron Pritchett - What Some People Throw Away
CAPO: 3rd Fret 
 An old Dpiece of rope held Aup his Gpants 
 As I Dbacked up he threw up his Ahands Asus4  A  
 So DI got out and Aclosed the Gdoor 
 And Dasked him what he stopped me Afor Asus4  A  
 He reached Cdown and picked up a burlap Dbag 
 There at the Ccity dump he C/Bshowed me all he Ahad Asus4  A  
 CHORUS 1: 
 A Gblanket for the Acolder nights 
 An Dold King James and a Gpocket knife 
 A Emworn out watch and a Glucky rabbit's Afoot Asus4  A  
 A Gpicture in a Abroken frame 
 He Dsaid, "I wish I Gknew her name" 
 As he Fgently brushed his hand across her Asus4face A  
 What some Apeople throw aDway 
 I turned to hide my tear-filled eyes 
 Then shook his hand and said goodbye 
 To me it was just a second load 
 But he held it like a bag of gold 
 I was too ashamed to tell him at the time 
 Everything he was holding was mine 
 CHORUS 2: 
 A blanket for the colder nights 
 An old King James and a pocket knife 
 A worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot 
 A picture in a broken frame 
 He'll never know I knew her name 
 What I'd give to put that smile back on her face 
 What some Apeople throw aGway 
 INSTRUMENTAL: 
 A picture in a broken frame 
 He'll never know I knew her name 
 What I'd give to put that smile back on her face 
 What some Apeople throw Bmaway Bm/A  G  
 Oh, it Fbroke my heart to hear that old man Asay 
 "What some Apeople throw aDway"
