On The Streets Of This Town Chords & Lyrics - Steve Forbert

[VERSE 1]
I[F]'ll lock myself away
An[F]d not face one more day
On the streets of this t[Gm]own
[Gm]And all I've got to lose
Is a feelin' called the bl[C]ues
And a little old fr[F]own

[VERSE 2]
[F]I signed your dotted line
[F]And did my best at tryin'
Givin' all I could gi[Gm]ve
[Gm]And all I've gotten back
Is this feelin' that I la[C]ck
What I'm needing to liv[F]e

[CHORUS]
A[Gm]nd you say you don't see it
Whe[F]n a grown man starts to cry
Yo[Gm]u 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 M[Gm]ay
[Gm]And then ran off with Jim
But I'll defer to h[C]im
And his purple ber[F]et
'C[F]ause he knows how to wheel and deal
And not to feel when he's knockin' you d[Gm]own
[Gm]And I know he'll succeed
'Cause thatâs just what you nee[C]d
On the streets of this t[F]own

A[Gm]nd you say you don't see it
Wh[F]en a grown man starts to cry
Yo[Gm]u turn your face a[Bb]way and you walk on [C]by

[Instrumental Bridge]
[F] [Gm] [C] [F]

I[F]'ll lock myself away
[F]And not face one more day
On the streets of this to[Gm]wn
[Gm]And all I've got to lose
Is a feelin' called the bl[C]ues
That's been going aro[F]und
[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 learn[C]ed
What the Indians kn[F]ow

A[Gm]nd you say you don't see it
Wh[F]en a grown man starts to cry
Y[Gm]ou turn your face a[Bb]way and you walk on [C]by
