Patty Loveless - A Handful Of Dust Chords

INTRO: C
    
Break us down by our elements
    F         G        C
And you might think we failed

We're not copper for one penny or
     F    G       C
Even iron for one nail


      F               C
And a dollar would be plenty
       G         C
To buy twenty of us
      F            C
Until true love is added
         G           C
To these handfuls of dust


CHORUS:
F           C    G           C
Handful of dust, handful of dust
F           C            G          C
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
F               C             G     Am
True love makes priceless the worthless
    F         C          G          C
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust



However small though our worth may be
     F        G         C
When shared between two hearts

Is even more than it would ever be
         F      G    C
Measured on its own apart


        F            C
And our half what it could be 
       G               C
Is now twice what it's worth
     F            C
When true love is added 
         G           C
To these handfuls of dust


CHORUS:
F           C    G           C
Handful of dust, handful of dust
F           C            G          C
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
F               C             G     Am
True love makes priceless the worthless
    F         C          G          C
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust


CHORUS:
F           C    G           C
Handful of dust, handful of dust
F           C            G          C
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
F               C             G     Am
True love makes priceless the worthless
    F         C          G          C
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust
