Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I ro[F]lled[G][Am][F][E][Am]
off the San Francisco [F]Mint [G]in 1909,
[Am]The last one they [F]ever made,
[G]you should have seen me [Am]shine.
When I landed on the counter
[F]they gave [G]me to this kid,
[Am]making change for [F]a jawbreaker
was the [E]first thing [G]that I [Am]did.
I got traded for a pocket [F]knife,
two [G]marbles and some string,
[Am]and I wound up on a railroad track[F]
waiting [G]for [Am]a train.
I got snatched up by a [F]hobo,
[G]turned right into wine,
[Am]and pitched up against a wall
[F]at [E]least a [Am]thousand times.
[G]Round [C]and round [F]the penny
goes round [C]and [Gsus4]back again.
[C]Listen and I'll [F]tell you the
[C]places that [G]I've been.
Hey, [C]round and round [F]the penny
goes [C]round and back again
[Gsus4]Listen, a[C]nd I'll tell[F] you the plac[E]es that
I've [Am]been[F][G][Am][F][G]
[Am]
Well, I was stolen from a banker
[F]by [G]pretty boy [Am]Floyd and them and they
gave me to this old farmer
[F]who was trying [G]to save his land
[Am]and I was good luck to a soldier
[F]back in [G]World War II
[Am]and he lost me in a poker [F]game
the day [E]the war [Am]was through.
I got stuck behind the back [F]seat
of an old 51 [G]Chevrolet.
[Am]I was spare change in the 60s[F]
and gettin' [G]worth less every [Am]day.
Now it's piggy banks
and gum [F]machines
or an [G]occasional wishin' [Am]well
or just layin' on some barroom [F]floor
or [E]hittin' heads or t[Am]ails.
[G]Round [C]and round the[F] penny
goes [C]round and [Gsus4]back again.
[C]Listen and I'll [F]tell you the
[C]places that I've [G]been.
[F]Hey, [C]round and round [F]the penny
goes round [C]and [Gsus4]back again.[F]
[C]Listen, and I'll [F]tell you the [E]places that
I've [Am]been[F][G][Am][F][G]
[Am]
Well, I'm a pretty lucky penny,
folks,
[F]because you [G]see it happens every time
[Am]Just when I start feel[F]ing a
[G]little lost
and left behind,
[Am]some kid will pick me up
[F]And he'll wonder whe[G]re I've been,
[Am]he'll put [F]me in his pocket.
Here [E]I go [Am]again,
[G]round [C]and round [F]the penny
goes [C]round and back again,
[Gsus4]listen and I'll [C]tell you [F]the
[C]places that [G]I've been.
Hey, [F]round and [C]round [F]the penny
goes [C]round and [G]back again.
[C]Listen and I'll [F]tell you the [E]places that
I've [G]been.[Am][F]

[Outro 1]
