#I Am I Said
#by Neil Diamond
#
#Verse:
#
#First four lines are spoken, next two sung:
#
G
LA's fine, the sun shines, most 'the time
C
And the feeling is laid back
DDDD7
Palm trees grow and rents are low but-I-gotta-feeling-like-I-gotta-start
G
Making my way back
GG7C
I'm New York City born and raised but nowadays I'm lost between two shores.
D7D7G
LA's fine but it ain't home and New York's home but it ain't mine no more.
Chorus:
G
I am I said
C
To noone there
AmG
And noone heard at all, not even the chair
G
I am I cried
C
I am said I
AmG
And Iam lost and I don't even know why
(tacit) Leaving me lonely still
Verse 2:
Did-you-ever-hear-about-the-frog-who-dreamed-about-being-a-king
And suddenly became one?
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
My story's the same one
But I have an emptiness deep inside so strong it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear but I've never cared for the sound
of being alone.
Chorus
Chorus.
