This one is a barn burner. Sam wrote this one based on a text message he got from Angelique down in DC where she told a story about some kind of free box of stuff labeled “gently used,” and then commented that it would be a good name for a song. And so it was.

Verse: C [yep, just C]

Chorus: G C F C C G F C

Verse 1
C
I been beat up, kicked around

C
I spent my time in jail

C
I tried to woo you with love letters

C
Through the US Mail

Chorus
                 G                         C
I’m so glad that you found me

F                      C
Gently used, gently used

C                         G
I’m so glad that you found me

F                      C
Gently used, gently used

Verse 2
C
So what is it that I

C
Never got quite right?

C
Lead me down that yellow road

C
I’ll try with all my might

CHORUS

Verse 3
C
Sleepless nights and endless dawns

C
I’m always out too late

C
You think maybe I’ll come around

C
But I’m afraid it’s much too late

CHORUS

And finish the last chorus with a little, bump-bump-budda-bump-bump-bump, kind of finish. And arch your voice up a little in that last vocalization to let everyone know it’s the end.
