992- Lucky Penny ©2024 by Rob Lincoln (No Capo)
G C
I was strolling down the lane one sunny morning
G D
And I looked upon the ground what did I see?
G C
The British Queen herself the young Victoria
F C G
And her shiny image staring up at me
F C G
I saw the copper penny staring up at me

Since no one was around put in my pocket
And I took that lucky penny home with me
Rose up the social ladder like a rocket
Before too soon a rich man I would be
Before too soon a rich man I would be

Chorus
C G
It only took for me a lucky penny
C D
To get to where I wanted so to be
C Em
After that first coin I earned so many
F C G
The many coins they helped me to feel free 2x

I made from my gold coins the biggest factory
Soon I was the richest man in town
All because a shiny lucky penny
Was staring up from me upon the ground

Chorus
Bridge
C F
I’ve got the finest horse and a thoroughbred of course
C D
And I’ve got a mansion all to me
F C
I’ve got my own French chef but now I’m getting board
F D
I want to travel on the great wide sea

So I have booked a ticket on a fancy steamer
And soon I will depart from Liverpool
I am a lucky man and I’m a dreamer
But I’ll take the safest ship I am no fool

I’m boarding a new ship called the Titanic
I feel so happy, lucky and secure
I smile a little bit I’ll never panic
My luck will never run out I am sure 2x Chorus (optional)

993- No Thank You ©2024 by Rob Lincoln (No Capo)
E C G F

I know I know I have to go down
Into our due into the great brown
Oh no oh no
I don’t wanna go
Can I can I just tell him

Chorus
C G D
No thank you sir
C
No no
G D E C G F
Think I prefer not to go

I see I see I hope that I see
A way a way to become guilt free
I see I see you say it to me
But I can not will it to be

Chorus
Can I just tell him…

And so and so is this how it ends
And so and so can we still be friends
If you and me can never agree
It still will be what it is to be

Chorus
