Oh, person to person and man to [C#m] man, [E] I'm back in touch with my long lost friend.

Walk [E] on if you're walking, even if it's an uphill climb.

[F#m] Oh, fortune [B] and fame, such a furious [C#m] game.
[F#m] Perfect strangers [B] like to call you by name.
Big money, steam, fire, [C#m] and rain, [A] again and again [B] and again.
[F#m] Oh, summer like [B] summer, coming back every year.
Got your [F#m] baby, got your blanket, [E] got your bucket of beer.
[C#m] I break into a grin [G#] from ear to [C#m] ear.
Suddenly [A] it's perfectly [B] clear.
