Introduction:
Eand A2the
E
As I walk these narrow streets
A2 E
Where a million passin' feet have trod before me
With my guitar in my hand
A2 E
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me
A2
Where yesterday the multitude
E
Screamed and cried my name out for a song
Today the streets are empty
A2 E
And the crowds have all gone home
I pass a million houses
A2 E
But there is no place that I belong
All I knew to give you
A2 E
Was song after song after song
A2
All the truths I tried to tell you
E
Were as distant to you as the moon
A2
Born 200 years too late
E
And 200 years too soon
I'm a child of this age
A2 E
Locked into the pages of your book
And when I am but dust and clay
A2 E
And all the children stop to take a look
A2
Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform
E
And the heights I did aspire
A2
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
E
To light a fire
With the rain on my face
A2 E
There is no place that I belong
Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?
