Mark Behan - Dollar General Acordes

	  

E 
Rolling down 40 in my pick up truck 
A 
hoping that I don’t run out of luck 
B7 
Looking for something to check off 
             E 
my Christmas list 

E 
Been to five Walmarts and a few Kroger‘s 
  A 
I stopped at Kohl’s and then Meijers 
B7 
So far just coming up a big 
        E 
blank nacho 



      E 
On my list is a left nostril inhaler 
  A 
A mylar ballon in the shape of a sailor 
B7 
And a bereavement card for a 
                     E 
second cousin once removed 

E 
Time is ticking and it’s getting kind of short 
A 
I’m not sure I’m being such a good sport 
B7 
This little trip has cost me 
                   E 
my whole dang Saturday 



E 
Just when I think that I am going to quit 
  A 
I see up the road just a little bit 
     B7 
That beautiful, familiar sign 
            E 
that we all know 

   E 
30 feet in the air sits a beautiful glow 
A 
Big black letters on a bed of yellow 
B7 
Tells me exactly that I found 
                 E 
what I’m looking for 



E 
They got everything that you could need 
     A 
From birthday candles to papaya seeds 
     B7 
So I make my way down the aisles 
                   E 
Searching high and low 

  E 
I find everything that I’m looking for 
  A 
I pay my tab, as I head out the door 
      B7 
And a big wave of relief 
            E 
washes over me 


 
E 
One sure thing I was proud to see 
              A 
Was there was four Dollar generals and one dollar tree 
B7                                   E 
All in the space of about 6 miles or so 

      E 
Now I know that my Christmas list is done 
    A 
but somehow I just can’t resist the fun 
   B7                                            E 
Of searching for that one thing that’s really unique 



        E 
I climb back in my truck and head down the road 
A 
Looking once more for the beautiful glow 
       B7                                E 
Of the big yellow sign of the dollar general
