Unpacking My Suitcase

F Bb

         F                   Bb
I was unpacking my suitcase, 
Pulling out dirty clothes
      F                 Bb

When evocative aromas hit my nose
F                         Bb
One shirt smelled of your smoky loft
F                          Bb
Another strongly of spilt vodka
           Gm            Bb
And it occurred to me, how much I brought home
    Gm                 Bb
And knowingly you had loaded me up
F                   Bb

With the stuff to survive
        F                       Bb
Through lean times so starved I could just wither and die

          F             C                 Bb
But I was saving little chunks, 
of your sweet sweet goodness
F       C               Bb

And squirrelin them away
F       C               Bb

I was squirrelin them away
      F               C               Bb
I was saving healthy chunks, of your sweet sweet goodness
F       C         Gm
And squirrelin them away
C                 Dm     Bb
For the long lean winter

Gm      C       Dm        Bb
All of y’all, so lush and generous
Gm          C                  Dm       Bb

It can get lean and lonely where I hail from
    Gm            C                   Dm                    Bb
But each luscious one of you, 
gave me bounteous charms to chew

           F                    C                      Bb

And I was stuffing, stretching, smiley-cheeked 
for the extent of my stay
                     F     C            Bb
you could say that I was, 
squirrelin it away
F     C            Bb
I was just squirrelin it away
