Capo on 2nd fret
	        
Capo on 2nd.
Essentially, it's E and A2 the entire song. 

E 
As I walk these narrow streets 
A2                                             E 
Where a million passin' feet have trod before me 

With my guitar in my hand 
            A2                      E 
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me 

           A2 
Where yesterday the multitude 
                                                             E 
Screamed and cried my name out for a song 

Today the streets are empty 
             A2                   E 
And the crowds have all gone home 


I pass a million houses 
                  A2                    E 
But there is no place that I belong 

All I knew to give you 
               A2                   E 
Was song after song after song 

A2 
All the truths I tried to tell you 
                                             E 
Were as distant to you as the moon 
                             A2 
Born 200 years too late 
                     E 
And 200 years too soon 


I'm a child of this age 
A2                                        E 
Locked into the pages of your book 

And when I am but dust and clay 
A2                                              E 
And all the children stop to take a look 

              A2 
Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform 
                                    E 
And the heights I did aspire 
A2 
Or will they tear out the pages of the book 
            E 
To light a fire 


With the rain on my face 
A2                             E 
There is no place that I belong 

Did you forget this fucking singer so soon? 

And did you forget my song?
