Intro: E - C#m - Bm - A E - D - A - E
E              C#m
I sold my piano

                   Bm         A
It couldn’t come with me

               E
I locked up my bedroom

                          D    A
and I walked out into the air

                E        C#m
When nothing I needed

              Bm          A
is left there behind me

                        E       D
I walk out through the shadows

   A          E
Of Washington Square

                 E      C#m             Bm         A
Now I wander the highway from Dublin to Berkeley

                 E                    D       A
and I heard the songbirds of Valley Paurine

               E          C#m
I loved like a fountain

                     Bm       A
and it left me with nothing

                     E       D       A          E
just the memories of walking through Washington Square

                   E      C#m
Now I live in the shadows

               Bm         A
where light is electric

             E
and time is a number

                D      A
that rests on a wall

             E   C#m
Nobody knows me

                  Bm      A
my friends and my family

                      E    D
are as far from this city

   A           E
as Washington Square

              E           C#m
So cover this warm night

                 Bm       A
in a blanket of starlight

                     E
And I'll follow this freeway

             D         A
out into the air

                   E      C#m
in case you should wonder

              Bm         A
and wanted to find me

               E      D   A          E
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square

               E      D(hold)        E
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
