Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E A E
[Verse 1]
E
As I walk these narrow streets
A E
Where a million passing feet have tried before me
A E
With my guitar in my hand suddenly I realize nobody knows me
A E
Where yesterday the multitude screamed and cried my name out for a song
B A E
The day the streets are empty and the crowds have all gone home
[Verse 2]
A E
I pass a million houses, but there is no place where I belong
A E
All I knew to give it was song after song after song
A E
All the truth I try to tell you were as distant to you as the moon
B A E
Born 200 years too late and 200 years too soon
[Verse 3]
A E
I'm a child of this age, locked inside the pages of your book
A E
And when I am but dust and clay and other children stop take a look
A
Well they marvle at the miracles I did before them
E
And to the heights I did aspire
B A E
Or will they tear out the pages of the book to light a fire
[Outro]
A E
With the rain on my face there is no place where I belong

Did you forget the folk singer so soon?
And did you forget my song?
