Intro Bb majorBb D#D# Bb majorBb D#D#

Verse 1

   Bb majorBb
As I walk these narrow streets
    D#D#       FF       Bb majorBb    FF Bb majorBb
where a million passin' feet have trod before me

With my guitar in my hand
FF       D#D# Bb majorBb       FF Bb majorBb
suddenly I realize nobody knows me
   D#D#
Where yesterday the multitudes screamed
              Bb majorBb  FF Bb majorBb G minorGm
and cried my name out for a song
              D#D#
Now the streets are empty
                  Bb majorBb  FF Bb majorBb
and the crowds they've all gone on home

Verse 2

With the rain on my face
    D#D#       FF Bb majorBb   FF Bb majorBb
there's no place where I belong

And my whole life consists
D#D#      FF     Bb majorBb  FF Bb majorBb
of a story a poem and a song
    D#D#
Now the truths I've tried to tell you
           Bb majorBb  FF Bb majorBb G minorGm
are as distant as the moon
               D#D#
Born a hundred years too late
         Bb majorBb    FF Bb majorBb
two hundred years too soon

Verse 3

   C majorC
I'm a child of the sage
FF      G+G     C majorC  G+G C majorC
Lost in the pages of a book

But when I'm dust and clay
FF         G+G       C majorC  G+G C majorC
will other people stop to take a look
       FF
And will they marvel at the miracles I performed
           C majorC    G+G C majorC
And to the heighths I aspired
A minorAm             FF
Or will they tear the pages from the book
      C majorC  G+G C majorC
to light a fire

With the rain on my face
    FF       G+G  C majorC  FF C majorC G+G C majorC
there's no place where I belong
