[Intro]
F G
[Verse 1]
Am F
He went out and walked the streets no one knew his name
Dm E
He’d been here many times before but now was not the same
Am F
Music spilled from windows onto the sparkling air
Dm E
A falling leaf came drifting and caught in his hair
F G
And he walked on, he walked on
Am F
He came to the corner where five points used to meet
Dm E
Past the Chinese grocery _ and on up the street
Am F
Brand new buildings going up and old ones coming down
Dm E
Delivery trucks were rolling, spreading smoke around
F G
And he walked on, he walked on
[Chorus]
E Am
Maybe sometime later he’d try to write it down
E Am
Maybe find some old guitar to recreate the sound
Dm Am
Feel the grit between his fingers, eat food that tasted real
B7 E
Hold his head and heart some way so he could really feel
F G
And he walked on, he walked on
[Verse 2]
Am F
Then waiting for the light to change somehow his peace was shattered
Dm E
Still smelled the fumes and heard the cries but now they hardly mattered
Am F
He thought of how preachers speak of heaven and of hell
Dm E
He wondered was he in between but it was hard to tell
F G
And he walked on, he kept on, he walked on
Am F
So much of this life he’d never really understand
Dm E
How you could lose the grip on things you held right in your hand
Am F
Three hundred sixty different points that you can try to view
Dm E
He never found the ending, there was always something new
F G
and he walked on, he walked on
[Chorus]
E Am
Maybe sometime later he’d try to write it down
E Am
Maybe find some old guitar to recreate the sound
Dm Am
Feel the grit between his fingers, eat food that tasted real
B7 E
Hold his head and heart some way so he could really feel
F G
And he walked on, he walked on
[Outro]
Let every Chord ring Out
Am F
He went out and walked the streets no one knew his name
Dm E
He’d been here many times before but now was not the same
F G
And he walked on, he walked on
