INTRO: G C G C
You old street singer, some call you a bum
G C Sitting on a park bench soaking up the sun G Singing to the children and the people passing by C F With a bottle in a paper bag and a banjo at your side C Anyone would know you if they'd take the time to look F C G Underneath those ragged clothes they'd read you like a book C F They'd see it in your eyes, the corners of your smile C G C G C There's more to this old street bum than too many dusty miles
The motel room must get so very small
G C A bed and a chair and memories on the wall G In a city full of strangers far away from times C F You've made that banjo ring in across a picket line C F You go downstairs and out on the street C G C Sit there waiting for everyone you meet G Some they ignore you, some they ask you why C Some they dance to the tune you're playing to the sky
INTERLUDE: C G C G C
G Passing through a city, one day you'll see him there C Stop and listen to his tunes, let him know you hear G Put a dollar in the box that sits there at his feet C Tip your hat to the man who's singing in the street F C 'Cause if you stop and listen, you'll hear it every time F C G Melodies around you, the rhythms and the rhymes C F In the stares of passing strangers, questions of the young C G C The barking of a stray dog and the memories of a street bum G C The barking of a stray dog and the memories of a street bum
