Penny On The Floor by the Clarks
Transcribed by Chris Choncek (con1@fyi.net OR choncek@alltel.net)

Listen to the CD to get the strumming and picking sequence. Here’s the basic
chords anyhow. Enjoy!


G                                       D            C         G
There’s a penny on the floor and you’re gone, the television’s on.
           D                           C
Have you found another man to take my place.
G                                    D       C                  G
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m wise, I try to see in your eyes.
     D                               C
But all I see is a reflection of my face.


There’s a penny on the floor and you’re gone, I’m trying to right what’s wrong.
A stronger man might do it with more grace.
There’s a penny on the floor but I’m wise, I look up to the skies.
I cry and pray, and I stare out into space.


Chorus:
G                                         D
There’s a penny on the floor, and you’re standing at the door
Em                   C      G                     D                    C
turn around and say goodbye. A woman like you comes around just once a life.

There’s a penny on the floor and I’m strong. I’ll try to carry on,
Realizing no one can take your place.
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m fine. I know it’s gonna take some time
Before I look at you without looking at my own face.

              C                       D                   C                     D
Penny on the floor.  I’m tired of the war.  Penny on the track.  Are you comin’ back?

There’s a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the days
That were spent with you, no one can take them away.
There’s a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the ways
You filled my soul with courage, hope and grace.


Repeat Chorus:

There’s a penny on the floor, and you’re standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye.
A woman like you comes around who won’t bring me down.
