Intro: DmDm

Verse 1:
  DmDm
I woke up early this morning
         Bb majorBb
Went downtown and I got a cup of coffee
          C majorC               FF
Drink it on up then I got a little jumpy
            C majorC              DmDm
Then I had a thought that I can't remember

Walked around town looking down at my
shadow
          Bb majorBb
Pick up a nickel older than I
          C majorC
Gave it to a man who needed a shot of liquor
                        A augmentedA
I could tell by the look in his eye
                   DmDm
Walking around the bus station I saw a young girl
            Bb majorBb
Couldn't have been older than 13
          C majorC
Smoking a cigarette pregnant and barefoot
                               DmDm
I said "Hello" she said "The world is mean"

Hook:

So I kept on walking
            Bb majorBb
Taking in the scenery
           C majorC
Observing everything
           A augmentedA
And what it means to me
             D MajorD
Could it be as simple
DmDm       Bb majorBb
As me just being me
           C majorC          FF
Looking for sweet Conformation
A augmentedA
So I kept on walking

Verse 2:
DmDm
To the hardware store
                Bb majorBb
Asked the manager for an application
               C majorC
And on the way out I threw it in the trash cuz
               A minorAm            FF
Something in my head said just be patient
                DmDm
I saw a bunch of birds on top of the court house
            Bb majorBb
Sitting on the edge all in a row
               C majorC
If I didn't know better I'd swear they were watching me
                              A augmentedA
I think I heard a bird tell another there he goes
     DmDm
Then saw a mannequin in the window
            Bb majorBb
The prettiest woman that I've ever seen
                C majorC
Wearing a green dress and beautiful string of pearls
    C majorC
She wasn't interested in me

Verse 3:
    DmDm
To a seat on a bench on the corner
          FF             Bb majorBb
Took a little rest beneath the shady tree
             FF
'Long came an old lady with a walking cane
        C majorC            DmDm
And she sat down next to me. She said
Hey there dreamer how are you doing?
                            Bb majorBb
Said the doc told her she's 'bout to die
           C majorC
And yet she comes here everyday about this time
       A minorAm             FF
Just to watch the world pass by
          DmDm
Gave me a nickel and said this is a fortune
                              Bb majorBb
Lit a cigarette and said the world is mean
       FF                   C majorC
Just be patient the birds on the courthouse
        A minorAm              A augmentedA
Serve a purpose like you and me
      DmDm
Then I got up and said thank you kindly
            Bb majorBb
And The sun broke through the trees
        C majorC
And as I turn to walk away she said hey
                    DmDm
Don't worry 'bout the mannequin she can't
G minorGm
