Devon Sproule - Keep your silver shined

^F7We got the last of the apples, ^CRosy just from the weather, ^BbAn orchard^F map spr^Aead out green and red. ^F7A ten-cent yellow hat, ^CRotten fruit kicked off the path. ^BbOur hands in our p^Fockets And our ^Apockets in our pants.

^F7Racing out ahead to be the ^Creddest heart beat beating, ^BbOut on the s^Fcene busting b^Alood through a young body. ^F7A puddle with a jacket cap, ^CA picnic in a mountain pass, ^BbA taste of s^Fummer c^Aoming back: A summer ^Dswam by a foggy dam. ^BmA Poughkeepsie ^Gscam around a ^Amountain bend. The season ^Dchanged, the best of us c^Bmhanged. The rest of us ^Gstuck behind to keep the ^Asilver shined.

^F7A piano in a window bay ^CA straight back with a ribboned braid ^BbBlue Ridge ^Fbrick in an ^Aalmond shade ^F7A chin on a worn-out wrist. ^CA magnet with a grocery list says: ^BbMy, oh ^Fmy, my ^Atoes get tired, ^F7But I dont let ^Con, or let ^Bbgo—^F7I sing^A along.

^F7Back home Ive got a couple friends ^CWe drink together on the weekends ^BbWe keep our n^Fails trimmed and ^Afingers tough. ^F7I've got a felt hat collection, ^CA dresser drawer to put my pants in. ^BbWhat, oh, what ^Fmore could a ^Awoman want' ^F7I want an overhaul for my guitar, ^CA string endorsement and a shiney new car. ^BbPiles of ^Ffruit and a ^Afully stocked bar. ^F7Money for a flight out west, ^CCute shoes and a vintage dress, ^BbBig, new ^Fhouses for all my ^Arelatives. I want to l^Dand in a ^Bmtugging hand: A youthful ^Gbed with a ^Ayouthful plan. I want to ^Dwait and take my^Bm time, All my ^Gtime, and keep my ^Asilver shined.
