Hello dumpster, my old friend. I’ve come to dive with you again.

F C F C
Because a hunger softly creeping, left it’s growl when I was sleeping.

F A C Am
And the free food, pictured in my brain, still remains.

C G Am
Within, the sound, of dumpsters.

Am G Am
Alleys I explored alone, looking for a tossed cell phone.

F C F C
And the cop, he drove around the block. I hid beneath a pile of celery stalk.

F Am C Am
And I prayed, that he would not turn around. I won’t be found,

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
optional:
F Am C Am
And I prayed, that he would not taser me. I’m home free.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

C G Am
Listening, to the sound, of dumpsters.

Am G Am
In the moonlight, I saw, 10,000 divers maybe more.

F C F C
Recycling food that’s been thrown away. So much, you’ll be blown away.

F A C Am
We’re shopping where savings are so much more, the third hand store.

C G Am
Listening, to the sound, of dumpsters.

Am G Am
Dumpster dive and then you’ll know, Buried fruits make gardens grow.

F C
Eat that yogurt so I might teach you.

F C
Dive to the bottom so I might reach you.

F A C Am
Expired bread, like ripe avocados fell, you know the smell.

C G Am
Listening, to the sound, of dumpsters.

Am G Am
And the divers danced and played; they were not afraid.

F C F C
And the sign flashed it’s warning. No trespassing, it was forming.

F A C
Private property means stay, out of the dumpster box.

Am C G Am
But there’s no locks, when you listen, to the sound, of dumpsters.

C G Am C G Am
Listen to the sound of dumpsters. Listen to the sound of dumpsters
