Capo 3
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
[Verse 1]
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I guess I'm an old-fashioned dreamer,
D MajorD A augmentedA
walking the street on my own,
A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD
out of date, like the old-fashioned steamer,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
no longer feeling at home.
[Chorus]
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
For now romance has gone, time races on, but I still remember
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
and the old nickelodeon sound.
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA A majorA A7A7 D MajorD A augmentedA
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA A majorA A7A7 D MajorD
[Chorus]
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
The old cobblestone street echoes of feet like distant reminders,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
of the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
and the old nickelodeon sound.
[Verse 2]
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
There used to be all kinds of places,
D MajorD A augmentedA
where people like me used to go,
A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD
full of rough but friendly old faces,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
looking for someone to know.
[Chorus]
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
But now, they only belong in old films or songs almost forgotten,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
like the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
and the old nickelodeon sound.
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA A majorA A7A7 D MajorD A augmentedA
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA A majorA A7A7 D MajorD
[Chorus]
D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
The old cobblestone street echoes of feet like distant reminders,
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
of the town, the girls, the bar full of sailors,
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD A augmentedA A majorA A7A7 D MajorD
