  G          D/G     Am/G
I had it all,     or should I say I saw it all?

           Em                  Bm           Em            Bm
And it's a long way from the dustbin of New Jersey to the top

               Am      Fmaj7
Who would have known?

               Dsus4  D
Who would have known

  G           D/G     Am/G
I had a dream,    but dreams had other plans for me

       Em              Bm
For 30 years I set the thermostat

      Em            Bm
Where Frank Sinatra liked it,

           Am                 Em
Pulled his girls and hung his hats

        Am                   Em
I never knew which ones were mine

         Bm            D      D7
Now he's gone, and I'm alone
CHORUS:
      G     
And I don't know where I might be going

  Bm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing

Am
Set me on the roadside coming home

    D         Em            C                D
But home, for me was always someone else you know

     Em             C              D
That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down
Gmaj9 C/D Gmaj9 C/D VERSE:
  G               D/G   Am/G  
I shook the hands,      mafia dons and presidents

                Em             Bm
And though they always smile politely

       Em         Bm
With a measure of decorum

            Am                Em
Still their eyes would scan beyond me

      Am                   Em
For a glimpse of something more

             Bm
But now he's gone,

            D     D7
Now they're gone
CHORUS:
      G     
And I don't know where I might be going

  Bm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing

Am
Set me on the roadside coming home

    D         Em            C                D
But home, for me was always someone else you know

     Em             C              D
That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down

D          Em          C               D
Alone, the shadow of a star, don't you know

     Em             C          D
That shadows always fall, yeah shadows always fall,
When the sun goes down CHORUS:
      G     
And I don't know where I might be going

  Bm
I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing

Am
Set me on the roadside coming home

    D         Em            C                D
And home, for me was always someone else you know
