26 CENTS    The Wilkinsons



B                       F#          G#m

She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont

E                              B

The courage of just eighteen years

B                       F#         G#m

A penny and a quarter taped to a letter

E                        B   notes F# E D#

Momma's goodbye in her ears

B                                F#    G#m

She watched as her high school faded behind her

      E                                B 

Then the house with the white picket fence

B                                F#        G#m

Then she read the note that her momma had wrote

E                    F#

Wrapped up with 26 cents



CHORUS:

                B             G#m

When you get lonely call me anytime at all

                B               G#m

I'll be there with you always anywhere at all

          E                     F#

There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give

    C#m              F#

And money is never enough

           E                         G#m

Here's a penny for your thoughts, a quarter for the call

    C#m        F#     B

And all your momma's love





B                              F#           G#m

A penny and a quarter buys a whole lot of nothing

E                         B

Taped to an old wrinkled note

B                                  F#          G#m

When she didn't have much she had all momma's love

E                      F#

Inside that old envel-ope.



go to chorus, lead,

G#m                        F#           E

Oh, it's been years since momma's been gone

              G#m               F#             E  F#  G#m

But when she holds a coin she feels her love just as strong



go to chorus
