Listen to the CD to get the strumming and picking sequence. Here's the basic

chords anyhow. Enjoy!

There's a penny on the floor and you're gone, the television's on.

Have you found another man to take my place.

There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise, I try to see in your eyes.

But all I see is a reflection of my face.

There's a penny on the floor and you're gone, I'm trying to right what's wrong.

A stronger man might do it with more grace.

There's a penny on the floor but I'm wise, I look up to the skies.

I cry and pray, and I stare out into space.

There's a penny on the floor, and you're standing at the door

turn around and say goodbye. A woman like you comes around just once a life.

There's a penny on the floor and I'm strong. I'll try to carry on,

Realizing no one can take your place.

There's a penny on the floor and I'm fine. I know it's gonna take some time

Before I look at you without looking at my own face.

Penny on the floor. I'm tired of the war. Penny on the track. Are you comin' back?

There's a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the days

That were spent with you, no one can take them away.

There's a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the ways

You filled my soul with courage, hope and grace.

Repeat Chorus:

There's a penny on the floor, and you're standing at the door

Turn around and say goodbye.

A woman like you comes around who won't bring me down.
