On The Streets Of This Town — Steve Forbert

Chords and lyrics for On The Streets Of This Town by Steve Forbert (key of F).

Verse 1

[F]I'll lock myself away
[F]And not face one more day
On the streets of this [Gm]town
[Gm]And all I've got to lose
Is a feelin' called the [C]blues
And a little old [F]frown

Verse 2

[F]I signed your dotted line
[F]And did my best at tryin'
Givin' all I could [Gm]give
[Gm]And all I've gotten back
Is this feelin' that I [C]lack
What I'm needing to [F]live

Chorus

[Gm]And you say you don't see it
[F]When a grown man starts to cry
[Gm]You turn your face [Bb]away and you walk on [C]by
I[F] found myself a girl
[F]Who brightened up my world
From December to [Gm]May
[Gm]And then ran off with Jim
But I'll defer to [C]him
And his purple [F]beret
[F]'Cause he knows how to wheel and deal
And not to feel when he's knockin' you [Gm]down
[Gm]And I know he'll succeed
'Cause that’s just what you [C]need
On the streets of this [F]town
[Gm]And you say you don't see it
[F]When a grown man starts to cry
[Gm]You turn your face [Bb]away and you walk on [C]by

[F] [Gm] [C] [F]
[F]I'll lock myself away
[F]And not face one more day
On the streets of this [Gm]town
[Gm]And all I've got to lose
Is a feelin' called the [C]blues
That's been going [F]around
[F]I fit your crazy norm and wore your uniform
Where you told me to [Gm]go
[Gm]And got back in return
This here feelin' that I've [C]learned
What the Indians [F]know
[Gm]And you say you don't see it
[F]When a grown man starts to cry
[Gm]You turn your face [Bb]away and you walk on [C]by
