Lyrics
Fingers in my Pockets - A
(Vamp – 4 bars guitar)
12b Intro
Vs: 1 12b
If I had a penny in my pocket for every time I craved romance X2
I’d have 100 lbs of copper pulling down my pants
Vs: 2 12b
If I had a quarter in my wallet for every brush with Mr.Wrong X2
I could pay for us to fly first class from Vancouver to Hong Kong
Chorus: 8b
All I got fingers in my pockets
All I got is wishes in my purse
Miles and miles of broken hearts behind me
Those tender lips were nothin’ but a curse
Solo: 12b
Vs: 3 12b
If I had a loonie in my change purse for every creep I’ve wrongly kissed X2
I could melt down all those golden coins and build a statue of Elvis
Chorus: 8b
Vs: 4 20b
If I had a twonie in my hand bag for every time I had the blues X2
I could pay for us to party for at least a year or two
End – 3x Tag with stop and vocal improve at the end and then groove.
