Queen of The Rummage Sale 
A=424 

VERSE: 
G 
She was the queen of the rummage sale 
D 
The curator of a great collage 
G 
she would rescue every beautiful thing 
D 
the bric-a-back and the hodge podge 
C 
and stack the boxes in her parents garage 

I had to learn how to travel light
With a satchel and an old suitcase
It really wears you down
To carry on at that pace
Cause you�re never standing in one place

CHORUS: 
G 
Odds and ends 
D 
Held together with safety pins 
C 
I know there's a lot to fix 
G                      D              G 
so, we're taking it stitch-by-stitch

If we can, gonna build us a promised land
It comes to us secondhand
I think we�ll do fine

VERSE
Now we�re driving down the palisades
It feels good to get out of town
And we�re stopping at every yard sale sign
Or use the classified to track �em down.
She takes my hand and leads me around
These are colors that I�ve never seen
So sudden and so bright
In the places that I�ve been before
And I realize that I�m looking through her eyes

CHORUS

Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

I carry boxes up a hundred stairs
And she unpacks and laughs and cheers
And I finally put my suitcase down
Between the picture frames and souvenirs
I think I�ll stay for a thousand years

(CHORUS PATTERN)
If we can, gonna build us a promised land
It comes to us secondhand
I think we�ll do fine
And if we fail we can follow a bread crumb trail
Drop a coin in a wishing well
I think we�ll do fine
And in the end we�ll be calling up all our friends
All our friends think we�ll do fine
