Lemon Drop Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]My [G]muf[C]fler's tied on
with a guitar string
I owe sev[F]en thousand
[Dm]dollars to a [F]bank machine
Be[C]fore this car is ever really [G]mine
And some [C]fine day I'll drive
her downtown
Get a [F]burger, fries and a royal crown
Thankin' God [C]that I'll never
have to [G]pay another [C]dime

[Verse 2]
My [F]life is like a lemon drop
I'm suck[C]in' on the bitter
to get to the sweet part
[G]I know there are better days [C]ahead

[Verse 3]
I got [C]dirty shirts and worn out jeans
I owe two [F]dozen quarters
to a washin' machine
Be[C]fore these clothes will ever really [G]shine
But I [C]got me a man, that just don't care
If [F]his little darlin's got underwear
I [C]know someday I'm [G]gonna be his [C]wife

[Verse 4]
My [F]life is like a lemon drop
I'm suck[C]in' on the bitter
to get to the sweet part
[G]I know there are better days [C]ahead

[Verse 5]
I got [G]thrift store curtains in
the windows of my home
I'm [C]payin' for a house that
the landlord owns
[G]Bought a TV on a credit card
It'll [C]take me ten years to pay if [Dm]off
But some [F]fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer
In a [C]big backyard I own free and clear
[G]All I know, there's better

[Interlude 1]
days ahead
[C][F][C][G]
[C]
[G]So I

[Verse 6]
[C]play my hopes and play my dreams
Just [Dm]like two coins in a slot machine
Sing [C]"Glory,
Hallelujah" [G]if everything works [C]out fine

[Verse 7]
My [F]life is like a lemon drop
I'm suck[C]in' on the bitter
to get to the sweet part
[G]I know there are better days [C]ahead

[Verse 8]
Lord, [G]I know there are
better days [C]ahead
Thank God
