F I'll lock myself awayF And not face one more dayGm On the streets of this townGm And all I've got to loseC Is a feelin' called the bluesF And a little old frown [Verse 2]F I signed your dotted lineF And did my best at tryin'Gm Givin' all I could giveGm And all I've gotten backC Is this feelin' that I lackF What I'm needing to live [Chorus]Gm And you say you don't see itF When a grown man starts to cryGm Bb C You turn your face away and you walk on byF I found myself a girlF Who brightened up my worldGm From December to MayGm And then ran off with JimC But I'll defer to himF And his purple beretF 'Cause he knows how to wheel and dealGm And not to feel when he's knockin' you downGm And I know he'll succeedC 'Cause thatâs just what you needF On the streets of this townGm And you say you don't see itF When a grown man starts to cryGm Bb C You turn your face away and you walk on by [Instrumental Bridge]F Gm C FF I'll lock myself awayF And not face one more dayGm On the streets of this townGm And all I've got to loseC Is a feelin' called the bluesF That's been going aroundF I fit your crazy norm and wore your uniformGm Where you told me to goGm And got back in returnC This here feelin' that I've learnedF What the Indians knowGm And you say you don't see itF When a grown man starts to cryGm Bb C You turn your face away and you walk on by
On The Streets Of This Town
