Chords with lyrics
B minorBm E minorEm
Just across from the hospital
B minorBm E minorEm
Still in sight of the red lights
B minorBm E minorEm
A augmentedA couple blocks from the orthodox church
B minorBm E minorEm
That's where the old poet lived
B minorBm E minorEm
In his eyeglasses and his necktie
B minorBm E minorEm
At the window looking down
B minorBm E minorEm
On the young men passing by
B minorBm E minorEm
On the fullness of the town
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Full of them good time gamblers
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Full of their restless wives
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Full of them midnight writers
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Out in the quarter on a Friday night
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Out in the brightness of a Friday night
B minorBm E minorEm
And the big horns blowed and the pianos played
B minorBm E minorEm
And the music rose to the old man's ears
B minorBm E minorEm
I guess those were the olden days
B minorBm E minorEm
I guess those were the golden years
E MajorE
And now the town is empty
D MajorD
Empty as a mirror
A augmentedA D MajorD
Empty as the harbor and the barber's chair
E MajorE D MajorD
Where did the old poet go?
A augmentedA
I asked around
E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Nobody knows
B minorBm E minorEm
Maybe I came too early
B minorBm E minorEm
Maybe I came too late
B minorBm E minorEm
I'm waiting in the shadows of the scaffolds
B minorBm E minorEm
Of the old cafés where you told me to wait
B minorBm E minorEm
And I've got this lingering feeling
B minorBm E minorEm
It's like I've slipped between
B minorBm E minorEm
Finger of the century
B minorBm E minorEm
I know you know what I mean
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
I'll be a good time gambler
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
I'll be a restless wife
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
I'll be a midnight writer
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Out in the quarter on a Friday night
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Call me good time gambler
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Call me a restless wife
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Call me a midnight writer
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Out in the quarter on a Friday night
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Out in the brightness of a Friday night
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Call me the brightness of a Friday
E MajorE
