Lonely Town, Lonely Street chords
Start Jamming...
You can live your life in a crowded city.
You can walk along a crowded street.
[F#m]
But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly people, friendly people [Bm] that you meet.
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty.
[E] [Bm]
At the dances you can't keep your seat.
[F#m]
But if dances don't lead to romance, you might as well be born, be born with [Bm] two left feet.
You might be a sweet tone, showing up high class talker.
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing.
[F#m]
But it don't do [E] too [F#m] much good to be [E] talking, [F#m]
brother, when there ain't no, ain't [Bm] nobody listening.
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker, don't impress the people that you meet.
Might [F#m]
as well be [F#] a lonely [F#m]
walker in a lonely town on a [Bm] lonely street.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
