Verse 1:
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD
Grand Central station, wheels and it deals
E minorEm G+G D MajorD B7B7
The crowds rush and scramble
E7E7 A augmentedA
Round past the newsstands and out across the floors
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD

Howlin' out words and bangin' out chords

But all ears may listen for free

Big clocks were tickin', trains came and went
E minorEm G+G D MajorD B7B7 E7E7
Sad, ragged figures limped in the hallways
A augmentedA
And dug through the trash
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD
While old folks and young folks passed in a flood
E minorEm G+G D MajorD B7B7
All dashing somewhere
E7E7 A augmentedA
Wrapped in their lives and gone in a flash

But all ears may listen for free

Verse 3:
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD
Well, a man came a talkin' and he stopped where I stood

He warned me so gravely
E7E7 A augmentedA
The cops here'll nab ya, boy and they'll take ya right on down, yes
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD
But I took my chances, and luck saw me through
E minorEm G+G D MajorD B7B7
I stayed until I'd finished
E7E7 A augmentedA
Played what I pleased and poured out my sound

But all ears may listen for free
