#26 Cents - The Wilkinsons
#
#Intro:  1    4/5    1    4/5
#
She [1]sat all al[5]one on a [2m]bus out of Beaumont
With [4]courage of [5]just 18 [1]years
A [1]penny and [5]quarter were [2m]taped to a letter
And [4]Mama's good[5]-bye in her [1]ears   [5/4]
She [1]watched as her [5]high school f[2m]aded behind her
And the [4]house with the [5]white picket [1]fence
Then [1]she read the [5]note that her [2m]Mama had wrote
[4]Wrapped up with twenty-six [5]cents

Chorus: When you get lo[1]nely   cal[5]l me  [6m] anyti[5]me at al[6m]l
                                                         (Ooo.....)
I'll be there [1]with you    [5]always [6m]   anywh[5]ere at [6m]all
                                                (Ooo......)
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't [3m]give
And [4]money is never en[2]ough
Here's a [4]penny for your thoughts    a quarter for the [5]call
And [4]all-a your [5]Mama's [1]love

A [1]penny and [5]quarter buys a [2m]whole lot of nothin
[4]Taped to an [5]old wrinkled [1]note
And when she [1]didn't have [5]much, she had [2m]all Mama's love
[4]Inside that old enve[5]lope

Chorus

Bridge:    Oh, [6m]it's been years since [5]Mama's been [4]gone
But when she [6m]holds a coin she [5]feels her love----[4]just [5]as [6m]stro[5]ng


Chorus

Tag:    Here's[2m] a penny for your thoughts [4] a quarter for the call
And all-a your [5]Mama's [1]love


P.S.  I still cry when I sing this song!!!
