Key: Bb major

Verse 1
C C 
 
F F 
 
C C 
 
As I  walk these narrow streets,
F F 
 
where a million passing feet
C C 
 
have trot before me
With my guitar in my hand,
suddenly I realized,
F F 
 
C C 
 
my God, nobody knows me
F F 
 
Where yesterday the multitude screamed
C C 
 
and cried my name out for a song
Today the streets are empty
G G 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
and the crowds they've  all gone home
With the rain upon my face,
F F 
 
C C 
 
there's no place where I belong
F F 
 
And my whole life consists of a story,
C C 
 
a poem, and a song
F F 
 
Ah, the truths I tried to tell you
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
F F 
 
C C 
 
Are as       distant as the moon
Born two hundred years too late
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
F F 
 
And      two hundred
C C 
 
years too soon
I'm a child of this age
F F 
 
C C 
 
Locked inside the pages of a  book
And when I am but dust and clay
F F 
 
C C 
 
And other children stop to take a look
F F 
 
Will they marvel at the
miracles I did perform
C C 
 
And to the heights I did as pire?
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
F F 
 
C C 
 
to light a fire?
With the rain upon my face,
F F 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
C C 
 
C C 
 
there is no place where I belong
