Verse 1:

E minorEm
Arlington house, address: no fixed abode
  C majorC        E minorEm
An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road
A minorAm     FF   A minorAm      FF
He stares across the water, he sees right through the lock
A minorAm FF
But on and up like outstretched hands
A minorAm    FF
His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock

Sax

Verse 2:

E minorEm
Further down, a photo booth, a million plastic bags
C majorC         E minorEm
And an old woman filling out a million baggage tags
A minorAm     FF A minorAm  FF
But when she gets thrown out,   three bags at a time
  A minorAm  FF   A minorAm
She spies the old chap in the road to share her bags with
FF
She has bags of time
