[Verse]
GF#/GEmCGD
In a small town where all knew all, wondered a peasant lady nobody knew,
GF#/GEmCGD
But her only friend was a young boy, brought her hot tea and leftover stew,
GF#/GEmCGD
In those burnin' wintry Decembers, he'd pick dirty pennies up off the cold street,
GF#/GEmDCDG
And while his mother was out Christmas shopping, he'd say, "Come on in, warm your feet."
G, D, C, D - (2X)
GF#/GEmCGD
As long as you share with me stories, so she spoke on the product of war,
GF#/GEmCGD
My mother never knew who she could be, as my father lay drunk on the floor,
GF#/GEmCGD
And she spoke of the cart that she wheeled, had keys with no locks, and guitars with no stings,
GF#/GEmDCDG
and a puzzle that could never be finished, But this is my home, and these broken things are...
[Chorus]

boy went on to be taught....
But officer, I fondly remember you..
(Bridge)
GF#/GEmDCDG
They buried something inside of you, Officer, Into your cold heart, dig deep
DGD
And you'll see
CD
that it's me
GDCD
And here I'll be, nothing new to me
GF#/GEmC
I'll be heartbroken and cold, frozen and alone
GF#/GEmC
My coffin was a dumpster and I didn't even know
GF#/GEmC
But while out on the beat, he looked down to the street,
GF#/GEmC
and he saw a dirty penny heads up at hid feet
