“Loose Change Serenade”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am C G F
Loose change in my pocket, dreams in my head,
Am C G F
Walking down the streets, where the midnight’s spread.
Am C G F
Strumming my guitar, with the moon as my guide,
Am C G F
Singing for the kind hearts, who’ve got nothing to hide.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
Oh, the Kindhearted buyer, your love is my fire,
C G Am F
In this concrete jungle, you lift me higher.
C G Am F
With every tossed coin, I find my desire,
C G Am F
To serenade the world, till I’m old and I tire.
(Verse 2)
Am C G F
Nights are long and cold, but your smiles keep me warm,
Am C G F
In this city of strangers, your kindness is my norm.
Am C G F
With every note I play, I whisper your name,
Am C G F
Kindhearted buyer, in my life’s humble game.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
Oh, the Kindhearted buyer, your love is my empire,
C G Am F
In the crowd of faces, you’re my lone spire.
C G Am F
With your loose change, you fuel my desire,
C G Am F
To serenade the world, till my voice does retire.
