Verse 1
Bb
As I walk these narrow streets
D# F Bb Bb
where a million passin' feet have trod before me
With my guitar in my hand

suddenly I realize nobody knows me

Bb Bb
and the crowds they've all gone on home
Verse 2
With the rain on my face
D# F Bb Bb
there's no place where I belong
And my whole life consists

are as distant as the moon

Born a hundred years too late
Bb Bb
two hundred years too soon

to light a fire
With the rain on my face
