I left you so long on this avenue...

     D
And here I stand in the strangest land not

                       G
Knowing what to say or do... 
As I gaze around at these strangers in town I
                            C
guess the only stranger is me...

way life's meant to be...

                              C
standing here looking in wonder...

    D
Oh the crowd at my feet maybe it's just the old street but 

                                G
every thing that I Know lies under...
And when I see what they've done to this place that was
                                C
home, shame is all that I feel... Ohhh
