Last Of The Hand-Me-Downs Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In the light [A]that you borrowed
[D]For a look [A]down the dark [D]road
You were young an[A]d you shown i[D]t
Just a taste [A]an d you blown it
[D]And the [A]current is [D]fixed
And will [A]carry [D]you
To the point [A]where you left it
[D]And [A]right [D]on through

[Verse 2]
[G]
I had a chain and [A]a bicycle
And i rode all the way into town
[G]With only an ancient photograph
[A]I kept just to carry around
[G]And everybody there was [A]naked

[Interlude 1]
And why would you listen to me
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
With the hand [A]you were led in
In [D]the dress [A]that you bled [D]in
Touched my face and
[A]called me handsome
[D]And then asked [A]me to drink
[D]some
[A]Of that unholy concoction
[D]That will [A]burn you through
[D]And you know [A]that [D]it's poison[A]
But it's honey [D]too

[Verse 4]
[G]
I was a basket [A]of bones
When i dragged all the way in to town
[G]With only my boxful [A]of coins
To scatter all over the ground
[G]
And everybody there was laughing
[A]And why would you listen

[Interlude 2]
to me
[D][A][D][A][D][A]
[D][A][D][G]

[Verse 5]
I had [G]a handful of stones
[A]I hauled all the way into town
[G]To carry when i was [A]alone
Culled from the last of the hand-
me- down[G]s
But everybody there [A]was lovely
But why would you listen to [D]me

[Outro 1]
