Other verses
------------
Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On Bleecker Street
The poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On Bleecker Street
I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustaining
It's a long road to Canaan
On Bleecker Street
Notes:
------
The bass note of the D/F# must be played with the thumb
hooking over the guitar's neck. The bass note G in brackets in bar 5 can
be played but only if you break the Travis pattern, it's optional.
