Intro
G D Am C (x2)
Verse #1:
G D
Sirens ring, the shots ring out
Am C
A stranger cries, screams out loud
G D
I had my world strapped against my back
Am C (D)
I held my hands, never knew how to act
Chorus
G
And the same black line that was drawn on you
D
Was drawn on me
Am
And now it's drawn me in
C (D)
6th Avenue heartache
Verse #2:
Below me was a homeless man
I'm singing songs I knew complete
On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
It's fifty years, stood where he stands
(Chorus)
Verse #3:
Now walkin' home on those streets
The river winds move my feet
Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me, just like moonbeams
(instrumental part: play same chords)
Verse #4:
Look out the window, down upon that street
And gone like a midnight was that man
But I see his 6 strings laid against that wall
And all his things, they all look so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
Just like me, just moved on
(Chorus/ad-lib to fade...)
