Queen of the Rummage Sale

Queen of The Rummage Sale
A=424

VERSE:
G
She was the queen of the rummage sale
D

The curator of a great collage
G
she would rescue every beautiful thing
D
the bric-a-back and the hodge podge
C
and stack the boxes in her parents garage

I had to learn how to travel light
With a satchel and an old suitcase
It really wears you down
To carry on at that pace
Cause you�re never standing in one place

CHORUS:
G
Odds and ends
D
Held together with safety pins
C
I know there's a lot to fix
G D G
so, we're taking it stitch-by-stitch

If we can, gonna build us a promised land
It comes to us secondhand
I think we�ll do fine

VERSE
Now we�re driving down the palisades
It feels good to get out of town
And we�re stopping at every yard sale sign
Or use the classified to track �em down.
She takes my hand and leads me around
These are colors that I�ve never seen
So sudden and so bright
In the places that I�ve been before
And I realize that I�m looking through her eyes

CHORUS

Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

I carry boxes up a hundred stairs
And she unpacks and laughs and cheers
And I finally put my suitcase down
Between the picture frames and souvenirs
I think I�ll stay for a thousand years

(CHORUS PATTERN)
If we can, gonna build us a promised land
It comes to us secondhand
I think we�ll do fine
And if we fail we can follow a bread crumb trail
Drop a coin in a wishing well
I think we�ll do fine
And in the end we�ll be calling up all our friends
All our friends think we�ll do fine
