( Dm )gra( f )nd central ( c )station ( dm )whe( f )els and it ( c )deals, ( dm )the ( f )crowds rush and sc( c )rambl[a7]e
[D7]round past the newsstands and ( g )out across the floors

And ( dm )i ( f )did some ( c )singing, ( dm )and I ( f )played ( c )guitar, ( dm )do( f )wn near a ( c )doorwa[a7]y
[D7]howling out words and ( g )banging out chords

{Soc}
Well, ( c )think what you will, ( em )laugh if you like, it ( am )don't make no ( em )difference to ( f )me
( C )I'll open my case, ( em )and I might catch a coin, but ( f )all ears may ( g )listen for ( c )free
{C:intro riff}
{Eoc}

( Dm )bi( f )g clocks were ( c )tickin', ( dm )tra( f )ins came and ( c )went, ( dm )sa( f )d, ragged ( c )figur[a7]es
[D7]limped in the hallways and ( g )dug through the trash

While ( dm )ol( f )d folks and ( c )young folks, ( dm )passed ( f )in a ( c )flood, ( dm )on( f ) dashing ( c )somewhe[a7]re
[D7]wrapped in their lives and ( g )gone in a flash

{C:chorus}

Well, a ( dm )man( f ) came a ( c )talkin', ( dm )he st( f )opped where I ( c )stood. he w( dm )arn( f )ed me so ( c )gravel[a7]y
'The [d7]cops here'll nab ya, boy and they'll ( g )take ya right on down,' yes, but

( Dm )i ( f )took my ( c )chances, and ( dm )luc( f )k saw me ( c )through, ( dm )i s( f )tayed until I'd ( c )finish[a7]ed
[D7]played what I pleased and ( g )poured out my sound

{C:chorus}
