26 Cents"


Intro:  B    E  F#    B    E  F#

   B               F#                    C#m
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
     E          F#       B
With courage of just 18 years
  B               F#                 C#m
A penny and quarter were taped to a letter
    E          F#           B       F#  E
And Mama's good-bye in her ears
    B              F#            C#m
She watched as her high school faded behind her
        E              F#            B
And the house with the white picket fence
     B            F#             C#m
Then she read the note that her Mama had wrote
E                          F#
Wrapped up with twenty-six cents

                     
Chorus:
                         B     F#     G#m  F#    G#m
When you get lonely   call me   anytime at all
               B     F#     G#m  F#    G#m
I'll be there with you    always    anywhere at all
                                    D#m
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
    E                C#m
And money is never enough
         E                                           F#
Here's a penny for your thoughts    a quarter for the call
    E          F#      B
And all-a your Mama's love

  B         F#             C#m
A penny and quarter buys a whole lot of nothin
E           F#            B
Taped to an old wrinkled note
             B           F#             C#m
And when she didn't have much, she had all Mama's love
E                   F#
Inside that old envelope

                          
Chorus

     G#m                    F#           E
Oh, it's been years since Mama's been gone 
             G#m               F#                 E    F#  G#m  F#
But when she holds a coin she feels her love----just as strong


Chorus

              C#m                         E
Here's a penny for your thoughts  a quarter for the call
               F#      B
And all-a your Mama's love
