I was looking at guitars
Am7
Opposite the place where people sign their dole forms
G
And I walked out through them doors
Am7
Struck a light out on the corner in stone silence
C/g D
And I saw a man with no center of balance
G
Going where they take your name
D
And I wondered how it is not to be one, because I've been one
Em D C
And I know it isn't all just working class
D G
So I joined them, and daylight turned to stars
I was checking out the next girl
On the seat in front, with a dress like a palm tree lover
And she spoke of plans ahead
Voice and mouth in a race, with a trace of Spanish above her
And in my mind I put my eyes under the cover
And I knew I was alone
But I wondered why she stayed
And so supremely, she must have seen me looking
Still I stepped aside to let her pass
And then we parted, and the lights all turned to stars
SOLO

I's walking from the brick house
With the green light shouting words as I walked onwards
And I stepped into an offy
'Cause I like a beer, perhaps more than I should
Saw a poor man outside wearing less than I would
On a cold november day
And I asked him why he dressed
With so little on his chest and he told me
That his father has a house of gold and brass
C/g D D7 Em C/g D
Then he faded and disappeared as I left fast
D7 Em C/g D
'Cause only some of us are looking at the stars
D7 G
'Cause only some of us are looking at the stars
