[E]
As I walk these narrow streets

[A2]                                             [E]
Where a million passin' feet have trod before me

With my guitar in my hand

            [A2]                      [E]
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me

           [A2]
Where yesterday the multitude

                                                             [E]
Screamed and cried my name out for a song

Today the streets are empty

             [A2]                   [E]
And the crowds have all gone home

I pass a million houses

                  [A2]                    [E]
But there is no place that I belong

All I knew to give you

               [A2]                   [E]
Was song after song after song

[A2]
All the truths I tried to tell you

                                             [E]
Were as distant to you as the moon

                             [A2]
Born 200 years too late

                     [E]
And 200 years too soon

I'm a child of this age

[A2]                                        [E]
Locked into the pages of your book

And when I am but dust and clay

[A2]                                              [E]
And all the children stop to take a look

              [A2]
Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform

                                    [E]
And the heights I did aspire

[A2]
Or will they tear out the pages of the book

            [E]
To light a fire

With the rain on my face

[A2]                             [E]
There is no place that I belong

Did you forget this fucking singer so soon? And did you forget my song? This is that rad guitar riff. Tabs relative to capo.
