I Am I Said:Neil Diamond.
#4 in UK & #4 in USA in '71.
(CAPO 1st Fret.)
#1.
A
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines, most of the time,
D
and the feeling is laid back.
E
Palm trees grow and rents are low but you know,
E7 A
I keep thinking about..making my way back.
#2.
A
Well, I'm New York City born and raised,
A7 D
but nowadays I'm lost between two shores,
E E7
L.A.'s fine but it ain't home,
E E7 A
New York's home but it ain't mine no more.
CHORUS:
A D
I am, I said, to no one there,
A
and no one heard at all, not even the chair.
E A D
I am, I cried, I am, said I,
A
and I am lost and I can’t even say why...
E A D A E A
leaving me lonely still.
#2.
A
Did you ever hear about the frog who dreamed of
D
being a king...and then became one?
E
Well, except for the names and a few other changes,
A
let me talk about me..story's the same one.
#3.
A
But I have an emptiness deep inside, and I tried,
D
but it won't let me go,
E
and I'm not a man who likes to swear,
E7 A
but I've never cared for the sound of being alone.
CHORUS:(x2)
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
