VERSE:
 G+G     D/G   Am/GAm/G
I had it all,   or should I say I saw it all?
      E minorEm         B minorBm      E minorEm      B minorBm
And it's a long way from the dustbin of New Jersey to the top
        A minorAm   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Who would have known?
        Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Who would have known

 G+G      D/G   Am/GAm/G
I had a dream,  but dreams had other plans for me
    E minorEm       B minorBm
For 30 years I set the thermostat
   E minorEm      B minorBm
Where Frank Sinatra liked it,
      A minorAm         E minorEm
Pulled his girls and hung his hats
    A minorAm          E minorEm
I never knew which ones were mine
     B minorBm      D MajorD   D7D7
Now he's gone, and I'm alone

CHORUS:
   G+G
And I don't know where I might be going
 B minorBm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing
A minorAm
Set me on the roadside coming home
  D MajorD     E minorEm      C majorC        D MajorD
But home, for me was always someone else you know
   E minorEm       C majorC       D MajorD
That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down

VERSE:
 G+G        D/G  Am/GAm/G
I shook the hands,   mafia dons and presidents
        E minorEm       B minorBm
And though they always smile politely
    E minorEm     B minorBm
With a measure of decorum
      A minorAm        E minorEm
Still their eyes would scan beyond me
   A minorAm          E minorEm
For a glimpse of something more
       B minorBm
But now he's gone,
      D MajorD   D7D7
Now they're gone

CHORUS:
   G+G
And I don't know where I might be going
 B minorBm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing
A minorAm
Set me on the roadside coming home
  D MajorD     E minorEm      C majorC        D MajorD
But home, for me was always someone else you know
   E minorEm       C majorC       D MajorD
That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down

BRIDGE:
D MajorD     E minorEm     C majorC        D MajorD
Alone, the shadow of a star, don't you know
   E minorEm       C majorC     D MajorD
That shadows always fall, yeah shadows always fall,

When the sun goes down

CHORUS:
   G+G
And I don't know where I might be going
 B minorBm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing
A minorAm
Set me on the roadside coming home
  D MajorD     E minorEm      C majorC        D MajorD
And home, for me was always someone else you know
