So I tidied up the lyrics a little - they still need a little work to help with phrasing - and I had a couple of chords lying around doing nothing, so I put them to use.........

Chords.....
Am7 x02010 A x02220
G6 x04030 Dmaj7 xx0222
G6* 320030 Cmaj7 332000
G6** 355430 Fmaj7 x33210
Dsus2 xx0230

In Her Purse.

(Am7)She kept her (G6)world in(Dsus2)side a (A)bag,
(Am7)Carried (G6)on her (Dsus2)shoul(A)der,
(Am7)A (G6)pot-pou(Dsus2)rri of (A)items,
(G6*)Some (Dsus2)new some (Esus4)ol(E)der,

(Dmaj7)Some are dear and (Cmaj7)some forgotten,
(Dmaj7)Memories be(Cmaj7)yond a cost,
(Dmaj7)If ever she (Cmaj7)was to lose one,
A (Fmaj7)page from (G6**)her life (Dsus2)would be (A)lost.....

The faded pictures in a wallet,
Of people she once knew,
The old flame of whom she thought,
"I'll end up back with you,"
The mirror she holds to her face,
To repair her make-up,
To cover the tears and scars,
Of all her break-ups,

Some are dear and some forgotten,
Memories beyond a cost,
If ever she was to lose one,
A page from her life would be lost.....

Digging even further down,
As if it mattered,
She comes across a handkerchief,
All too worn and tattered,
It still holds the tears she shed,
From an affair gone bad,
Now it serves as a reminder,
Of the love she once had,

Some are dear and some forgotten,
Memories beyond a cost,
If ever she was to lose one,
A page from her life would be lost.....

Past the key to her apartment,
The one that he returned,
When he told her it was over,
As far as he's concerned,
An empty miniature brandy,
Despatched with urgency,
For medicinal purposes only,
Or heartbreak emergency

Some are dear and some forgotten,
Memories beyond a cost,
If ever she was to lose one,
A page from her life would be lost.....

Finally a phone that's playing,
The rigtone that was their song,
A tune that tells her he's calling,
She wonders why, it's been so long.....

This is just a rough first demo - it still needs a bit of work, so all suggestions accepted!

Here's the link to the MP3 - just click on "In Her Purse."

Great job Vic

I like it mate

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Fender Telecaster played through Roland Cube 30W amp on acoustic setting - chorus on full, reverb about 3/4, bass about 1/2, virtually no mids, treble almost full, with plenty of gain. Also, I used the middle setting for the pick-ups and full treble on the guitar.

For those who need to know these things.....

:D :D :D
