I [A] was walking in the mainland [G] city and I [E] was feeling so [G]
alone.
I [A] was looking for [D] someone or things [E] to remind me of [A] my home.
What I wouldn't give [G] to have [A] somebody not a wink [G] at me.
[A] Cause that's the way [D] we say [G] hello [E] in my home down by [A] the sea.
You never say hello [G] or how's it going [A] today or any [G] of that.
We [A] just look at them [D] at night, our heads [E] all winged.
Say what [G] are you at?
