On the Streets of This Town — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

Capo 5`th (Works with 3)



C
I`ll lock myself away and not face one more day
Dm
On the streets of this town
G
And all I`ve got to lose, is a feelin` called the blues
C
And a little ol` frown;

I signed your dotted line and did my best at tryin`,
Dm
Givin` all I could give
G
And all I`ve gotten back is this feelin` that I lack
C
What I`m needing to live

Dm C
And you say you don`t see it when a grown man starts to cry,
Dm F G
You turn your face away and you walk on by.

I found myself a girl who brightened up my world
>From december to may
And then ran off with Jim, but I`ll defer to him
And his purple beret
`Cause he knows how to wheel and dealand not to feel
When he`s knockin` you down
And I know he`ll succeed ` cause thats just what you need
On the streets of this town

And you say you don`t see it when a grown man starts to cry,
You turn your face away and you walk on by.

I`ll lock myself away and not face one more day
On the streets of this town
And all I`ve got to lose, is a feelin` called the blues
That`s been going around;
I fit your crazy norm and wore your uniform
Where you told me to go
And got back in return this here feelin` that I`ve learned
What the Indians know

And you say you don`t see it when a grown man starts to cry,
You turn your face away and you walk on by.
