Print | Song List

Bm
When I was a kid
 
Someone told me the story
F#m
Of the one cent magenta
  
The world's rarest stamp
A
There was only one copy
 
In the entire world
G
That was the most expensive stamp
Em 
Worth millions of dollars
D
But then someone found a second copy
 
Of the one cent magenta
A
And the guy who owns the first one
  
Bought it
Bm
Now he owns the only two copies
 
In existence
G
And he took the second stamp
A7 
And burnt it
D
It's a question of mathematics
 
The rarest stamp in the world
Bm
Isn't as valuable
  
If there are two of them
A
A single copy
F#m
Of the one cent magento
D
Was worth more than two copies
Em 
Bm
It reminds me of another story
 
About to Taihape ginger beer bottle
F#m
Which was New Zealand's nearest bottle
  
Highly prized very valuable
A
Until someone excavated
 
The site of the old Factory
G
And found a thousand Taihape ginger beer
Em 
Bottles
D
He didn't tell anyone
 
About his Discovery
A
But you put an advert in the New Zealand
  
Bottle collectors magazine
Bm
For sale rear tire b ginger beer
 
Bottle office
G
Any offer considered
