I
[E] see a million [B] walk the city mile The ticker taking and the tubing dial
[F#m] Will anybody tell [A] me [E] which way to go Will
[F#m] anybody come back [B] on CB [A] radio
I'm [E]
counting the stars on [B] a telegraph pole
[E] And each one represents [B] the hopes of a soul
[C#]
[A] You'd think that God, [E] that wouldn't be so hard
[A] When you see all the [E] little children running
[A] Running in the [E] backyard All I miss is to be good [B] with a sub-Saharan song
[E]
Somebody is wailing [B]
in the financial district song
[A] Can anybody feel the [E] distance to the now I [A] wanna live [F#] and I wanna dance a [E] while
Gonna make like Kenny from a rockabilly track Gonna read out the blues [B] from a ballroom check
[A] You can't put a hold up [E] with a bebop gun
[A] These people living now, [F#] they got no heart and they [A] never had [E] none
Down on the border, [B] they crawl all the way To get a grip of living with a phenol [B] spray
[E] [A] Can anybody feel the [E] distance to the now
[A] I wanna live [F#] and I wanna dance [A] a while

[E] You can't put a hold [E] up with a bebop gun These people living now, [B] they got no [A] heart and they never had [E] none
I hear a people ringing out [B] on the border mile [E] The sucker who picks up [B] gets his number dialed
[A] But all the smuggling [E] waters that ever flowed
[A] Could never wash down this town [F#] so clean that it glowed
And I need to see in [B] an x-ray style I [E] need some rock art [B] that don't come in a file
[A] Can anybody feel the [E] distance to the now
[A] I wanna live [F#] and I wanna dance [B] a while
