Devon Sproule - Keep your silver shined

^AWe got the last of the apples, ^ERosy just from the weather, ^DAn orchard^A map ^C#spread out green and red. ^AA ten-cent yellow hat, ^ERotten fruit kicked off the path. ^DOur hands in our ^Apockets And our ^C#pockets in our pants.

^ARacing out ahead to be the ^Ereddest heart beat beating, ^DOut on the ^Ascene busting ^C#blood through a young body. ^AA puddle with a jacket cap, ^EA picnic in a mountain pass, ^DA taste of ^Asummer ^C#coming back: A summer ^F#swam by a foggy dam. ^D#mA Poughkeepsie ^Bscam around a ^C#mountain bend. The season ^F#changed, the best of us ^D#mchanged. The rest of us ^Bstuck behind to keep the ^C#silver shined.

^AA piano in a window bay ^EA straight back with a ribboned braid ^DBlue Ridge ^Abrick in an ^C#almond shade ^AA chin on a worn-out wrist. ^EA magnet with a grocery list says: ^DMy, oh ^Amy, my ^C#toes get tired, ^ABut I dont let ^Eon, or let ^Dgo?^A??I sin^C#g along.

^ABack home Ive got a couple friends ^EWe drink together on the weekends ^DWe keep our ^Anails trimmed and ^C#fingers tough. ^AI’ve got a felt hat collection, ^EA dresser drawer to put my pants in. ^DWhat, oh, what ^Amore could a ^C#woman want? ^AI want an overhaul for my guitar, ^EA string endorsement and a shiney new car. ^DPiles of ^Afruit and a ^C#fully stocked bar. ^AMoney for a flight out west, ^ECute shoes and a vintage dress, ^DBig, new ^Ahouses for all my ^C#relatives. I want to l^F#and in a ^D#mtugging hand: A youthful ^Bbed with a ^C#youthful plan. I want to ^F#wait and take my ^D#mtime, All my ^Btime, and keep my ^C#silver shined.
