Dime Ukulele

(ver. 2)
Cake
C
In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
        Cmaj7                                   F   A
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
F                       
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
        G                       G7                      C
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime

C                                        Cmaj7                                       F  A
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
        F               
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
        G                       G7                      C
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around

        F
I'm a dime
        C
I'm fine
        G               C
And I shine I'm freshly minted
        F                 C
I am determined not to be dented
              G                 C               F C G C
By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented

        F
I'm a dime
        C
I'm fine
        G
And I shine

C                               
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
        Cmaj7                                   F  A
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
F                                
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
          G                             G7                C
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash

        F
I'm a dime
        C
I'm fine
        G               C
And I shine I'm freshly minted
        F                 C
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
              G                 C               F C G C
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call

F C G C
F C G

        F
I'm a dime
        C
I'm fine
        G       C
And I shine
        F
I'm a dime
        C
I'm fine
        G       C
And I shine
        F
I'm a dime
        C
I'm fine
        G
And I shine

G (to fade)
