Intro Bb D# Bb D#
Verse 1
Bb
As I walk these narrow streets
D#FBbBb
where a million passin' feet have trod before me
With my guitar in my hand
FD#BbBb
suddenly I realize nobody knows me
D#
Where yesterday the multitudes screamed
BbGm
and cried my name out for a song
D#
Now the streets are empty
BbBb
and the crowds they've all gone on home
Verse 2
With the rain on my face
D#FBbBb
there's no place where I belong
And my whole life consists
D#FBbBb
of a story a poem and a song
D#
Now the truths I've tried to tell you
BbGm
are as distant as the moon
D#
Born a hundred years too late
BbBb
two hundred years too soon
Verse 3
C
I'm a child of the sage
FGCC
Lost in the pages of a book
But when I'm dust and clay
FGCC
will other people stop to take a look
F
And will they marvel at the miracles I performed
CC
And to the heighths I aspired
AmF
Or will they tear the pages from the book
CC
to light a fire
With the rain on my face
FGCFCGC
there's no place where I belong
