Verse 1
Bb
Eb
Bb
As I walk these narrow streets,
Eb
where a million passing feet
Bb
have trot before me
With my guitar in my hand,
suddenly I realized,
Eb
Bb
my God, nobody knows me
Eb
Where yes terday the multitude screamed
Bb
and cried my name out for a song
Today the streets are empty
F
Fsus4
F
Bb
and the crowds they've all gone home
With the rain upon my face,
Eb
Bb
there's no place where I be long
Eb
And my whole life consists of a story,
Bb
a poem, and a song
Eb
Ah, the truths I tried to tell you
Fsus4
Eb
Bb
Are as distant as the moon
Born two hundred years too late
Fsus4
Eb
And two hundred
Bb
years too soon
I'm a child of this age
Eb
Bb
Locked inside the pages of a book
And when I am but dust and clay
Eb
Bb
And other chil dren stop to take a look
Eb
Will they marvel at the
miracles I did perform
Bb
And to the heights I did as pire?
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
Eb
Bb
to light a fire?
With the rain upon my face,
Eb
Fsus4
Bb
Bb
there is no place where I be long
