Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – The Singer chords

Capo on 2nd. Essentially, it's E and A2 the entire song.

[E]As I walk these narrow streets
[A2]                                             [E]Where a million passin' feet have trod before me

With my guitar in my hand
            [A2]                      [E]Suddenly I realize nobody knows me

           [A2]Where yesterday the multitude
                                                             [E]Screamed and cried my name out for a song

Today the streets are empty
             [A2]                   [E]And the crowds have all gone home


I pass a million houses
                  [A2]                    [E]But there is no place that I belong

All I knew to give you
               [A2]                   [E]Was song after song after song

[A2]All the truths I tried to tell you
                                             [E]Were as distant to you as the moon
                             [A2]Born 200 years too late
                     [E]And 200 years too soon


I'm a child of this age
[A2]                                        [E]Locked into the pages of your book

And when I am but dust and clay
[A2]                                              [E]And all the children stop to take a look

              [A2]Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform
                                    [E]And the heights I did aspire
[A2]Or will they tear out the pages of the book
            [E]To light a fire


With the rain on my face
[A2]                             [E]There is no place that I belong

Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?

And did you forget my song?
