1. Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him, 
                          A          D 
    downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh. 
                        D7          G 
    There he sits all alone on the sidewalk, 
     E7                             A 
    hoping that you won't pass him by.

2. Should you stop? Better not, much too busy ! 
                            A             D 
    You're in a hurry, my, how time does fly ! 
                         D7         G 
    In the distance the ringing of laughter, 
                D            A            D 
    and in the midst of the laughter he cries.
