Abbey Lincoln
Throw It Away

Song : 
F
Intro :
Bbm  F   Bbm
Bbm                       F
I think about the life I live
F7                  Bbm
A figure made of clay
Bbm                      F
And think about the things I lost
F7                   Bbm
The things I gave away
 
Ebm               Ebm7
And when I'm in a certain mood
Gb                      F7
I search the house and look
Bbm                     F
One night I found these magic words
F7            Bbm
In a magic book
 
 
Chorus :
Ebm
Throw it away
Bbm
Throw it away
            F               F7
Give your love, live your life
                Bbm
Each and every day
Ebm                Ebm7
And keep your hand wide open
Gb                      F7
Let the sun shine through
Bbm                  F
'Cause you can never lose a thing
F7                  Bbm
If it belongs to you
 
Bbm                        F
There's a hand to rock the cradle
F7                        Bbm
And a hand to help us stand
Bbm                  F
With a gentle kind of motion
F7                        Bbm
As it moves across the land
 
Ebm                           Ebm7
And the hand's unclenched and open
Gb                         F7
Gifts of life and love it brings
Bbm                    F
So keep your hand wide open
F7                      Bbm
If you're needing anything
 
 
Chorus :
Ebm
Throw it away
Bbm
Throw it away
             F               F7
Give your love, live your life
                 Bbm
Each and every day
Ebm                     Ebm7
And keep your hand wide open
Gb                    F7
Let the sun shine through
Bbm                  F
'Cause you can never lose a thing
F7                 Bbm
If it belongs to you
Ebm
Throw it away
Bbm
Throw it away
             F                F7
Give your love, live your life
                 Bbm
Each and every day
Ebm                    Ebm7
And keep your hand wide open
Gb                    F7
Let the sun shine through
Bbm                  F
'Cause you can never lose a thing
F7                 Bbm
If it belongs to you
Bbm                  F
'Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you

You can never ever lose a thing
F7                 Bbm
If it belongs to you
Bbm                F
You can never ever lose a thing
F7                  Bbm
If it belongs to you
Bbm                F
You can never ever lose a thing
F7                  Bbm
If it belongs to you
