Chords for Neil Diamond - I am I said (1988 concert)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Are you exhausted yet? _ _ _ _ _
That's good, because we're just getting warmed up. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] LA is fine, the sun shines most of the time. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ And I feel that it's laid back.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
Palm trees grow and rents are low, but you know, _
I keep thinking about _ [Bb] making _ my way back. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, I'm New York City born and raised,
_ But nowadays I'm lost between [Eb] two shores.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] LA is fine, but it ain't home,
And New York's home, but it ain't [Bb] mine no more. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I am, I said, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to no one [Eb] there, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And no one heard a _ talk, _ _ not even the [Bb] chair. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I am, I cried, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I am the [Eb] city, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I am _ lost, _ _ _ _ and I can't even say [Bb] why,
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Leaving [Bb] me lonely _ still. _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king,
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
And then became one? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] Well, except for the names and a few other changes,
If you talk about me, _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
the story is the same one. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] But I have got an emptiness deep inside,
_ _ But _ _ it won't [Eb] let me go, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] and I'm not a man who likes to swear.
_ I never cared for the sound of _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
being alone. _ _ _
I am, I said, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to no one [Eb] there, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And no one heard a _ talk, _ not even [Bb] the chair.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ I am, I _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
cried, I am [Eb] the city, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I am _ lost, and I _ _ can't [C] even [Bb] say why, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Leaving me lonely [Bb] _ still. _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ LA is fine, the sun shines most of the time. _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh no.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king? _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh no. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ Well, [Bb] except for the names and a few other changes,
If you talk about me.
_ _ _ Oh _ _ _ no. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh no, _ no, no. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ No, _ _ _ no. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
