Bb                    F                 Gm
Glinting gems in the concrete I paved 
                    Dm  F
One every couple of fee-eeet
Bb                       F                    Gm
They got mixed up in the lyme and the sand 
                   Dm  F
Nobody noticed but mee-eee 

          Gm         Bb
How could one little speck 
       Gm                Bb
Make a difference to the rest

Well it doesn't, no one cared 
       Bb
Except me

I payed my debt to the hotel unknown 
                       Dm  F
I drove so far, out of fuu-unds

They kept me up, a family untied 
                              Dm   F
I shared their wall and their seee-cret 

           Gm       Bb
I can tell you this much
         Gm           Bb 
There is no love when bankrupt 
        Gm          F
Just an empty gutted house 
      Bb
And a grave 

Bb   F

I got this limp from a favor I did 
                      Dm    F
Some folks don't like charity
Bb                   F                       Gm 
Copper pipe is worth more than you'd think 
                             Dm  F
There ain't no point blaming mee-ee
 
          Gm         Bb
How could one little speck 
          Gm             Bb
Make a difference to the rest

Well it doesn't, no one cared 
       Bb
Except me

Just like me
