Keep Your Silver Shined Devon Sproule
I adore this song. I think that the chorus sounds better when it is played with
barre chords higher up the fretboard. Enjoy!
[A]We got the last of the apples,
[E]Rosy just from the weather,
[D]An orchard[A] map [C#]spread out green and red.
[A]A ten-cent yellow hat,
[E]Rotten fruit kicked off the path.
[D]Our hands in our [A]pockets
And our [C#]pockets in our pants.
[A]Racing out ahead to be the [E]reddest heart beat beating,
[D]Out on the [A]scene busting [C#]blood through a young body.
[A]A puddle with a jacket cap,
[E]A picnic in a mountain pass,
[D]A taste of [A]summer [C#]coming back:
A summer [F#]swam by a foggy dam.
[D#m]A Poughkeepsie [B]scam around a [C#]mountain bend.
The season [F#]changed, the best of us [D#m]changed.
The rest of us [B]stuck behind to keep the [C#]silver shined.
D, E, F#
[A]A piano in a window bay
[E]A straight back with a ribboned braid
[D]Blue Ridge [A]brick in an [C#]almond shade
[A]A chin on a worn-out wrist.
[E]A magnet with a grocery list says:
[D]My, oh [A]my, my [C#]toes get tired,
[A]But I dont let [E]on, or let [D]go?[A]I sing [C#]along.
A, E, D, A, C#, F#, D#m, B, C#, F#, D#m, B, C#, D, E
[A]Back home Ive got a couple friends
[E]We drink together on the weekends
[D]We keep our [A]nails trimmed and [C#]fingers tough.
[A]I?ve got a felt hat collection,
[E]A dresser drawer to put my pants in.
[D]What, oh, what [A]more could a [C#]woman want?
[A]I want an overhaul for my guitar,
[E]A string endorsement and a shiney new car.
[D]Piles of [A]fruit and a [C#]fully stocked bar.
[A]Money for a flight out west,
[E]Cute shoes and a vintage dress,
[D]Big, new [A]houses for all my [C#]relatives.
I want to l[F#]and in a [D#m]tugging hand:
A youthful [B]bed with a [C#]youthful plan.
I want to [F#]wait and take my [D#m]time,
All my [B]time, and keep my [C#]silver shined.
D, E, F#,
D, E, F#.
