Kenny Rogers – The King Of Oak Street (Guitar)

       A                  D                 A
Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while

        D          E                A
With no purpose or direction to his life

            D             E            A        D
He tried to get himself together and pacify his mind

    A                E                A
And forget about the things he left behind

           E             D               A
The cryin' woman he left standing in the door

       F#m           E           A
With a two month old baby in her arms

           E                 D              A
His little black book layin’ torn up on the floor

             F#m            D               E
And God only knows he never meant to do her wrong

           A              D             A
A careless weekend on the other side of town

             D           E               A
Has torn the King of Oak Street's Castle down

             D                  E                      A         D
And all week long he's tried to call her but she won't let him explain

           A                 E              A
Now Sunday mornin’ finds him walking in the rain

        E               D            A
He sits down in a phone booth and he prays

            F#m                     E                        A
That she'll forgive him  and she'll believe he's changed his ways

             E         D                 A
With shaking hand he deposits hi-is last dime

               F#m              D                      E
And he's still prayin’ that she won't hang you-up this time

         A                        D          A
Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says hello

     D             E                  A
Breakfast's almost ready baby come on home

     D                       E          A            D
I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand

         A                             E        A
That the King of Oak Street is just an ordinary man

       A                            A                  D
I-I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand

         A                             E        A
That the King of Oak Street is just an ordinary man
