See the people walking up and down

On the streets of my hometown

Longest street in the world they say

                Cmaj7       Em
Summertime soon slips away

I hope I'll see you one fine day

   D     G
On Yonge Street
[CHORUS:]
D                      Am        C
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake 

D                              Am            C
Back there in the flow you may give a hand a shake 

D                          Am             C
Everyone you pass seems to want to say hello

Upon the streets of my hometown

On Yonge Street 
[VERSE 4:]
                   Cmaj7          Em
It's a mean street if you choose 

                   Cmaj7          Em
It's a lean street when you lose 

                     Cmaj7    
An in between street when you cruise

      D     G
Along Yonge street
[CHORUS:]
D                      Am        C
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake 

D                              Am               C
You'll be sure and find it's a case of give and take 

D                          Am             C
Everyone you pass seems to want to say hello 

D                           Am               C     Em  Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  Em
Even late at night when the streets are all aglow

It's the longest street in the world 

                   Cmaj7         Em
With the most feet in the world 

                     Cmaj7    
Another street where boy meets girl
