Steve Forbert On The Streets Of This Town lyrics

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



DmC

And you say you don`t see it when a grown man starts to cry,

Dm FG

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.
