Key: FF

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
 FF
I'll lock myself away
 FF
And not face one more day
            G minorGm
On the streets of this town
G minorGm
And all I've got to lose
             C majorC
Is a feelin' called the blues
          FF
And a little old frown

Verse 2:
FF
I signed your dotted line
FF
And did my best at tryin'
           G minorGm
Givin' all I could give
G minorGm
And all I've gotten back
             C majorC
Is this feelin' that I lack
            FF
What I'm needing to live


Chorus:
 G minorGm
And you say you don't see it
  FF
When a grown man starts to cry
 G minorGm        Bb majorBb          C majorC
You turn your face away and you walk on by

 FF
I found myself a girl
FF
Who brightened up my world
         G minorGm
From December to May
G minorGm
And then ran off with Jim
          C majorC
But I'll defer to him
         FF
And his purple beret
 FF
'Cause he knows how to wheel and deal
                    G minorGm
And not to feel when he's knockin' you down
G minorGm
And I know he'll succeed
                C majorC
'Cause thatâ??s just what you need
            FF
On the streets of this town

 G minorGm
And you say you don't see it
 FF
When a grown man starts to cry
 G minorGm        Bb majorBb         C majorC
You turn your face away and you walk on by

 FF
I'll lock myself away
FF
And not face one more day
             G minorGm
On the streets of this town
G minorGm
And all I've got to lose
             C majorC
Is a feelin' called the blues
           FF
That's been going around
FF
I fit your crazy norm and wore your uniform
           G minorGm
Where you told me to go
G minorGm
And got back in return
                 C majorC
This here feelin' that I've learned
          FF
What the Indians know

 G minorGm
And you say you don't see it
 FF
When a grown man starts to cry
 G minorGm         Bb majorBb         C majorC
You turn your face away and you walk on by
