[Dm]gra[f]nd central [c]station [dm]whe[f]els and it [c]deals, [dm]the [f]crowds rush and sc[c]rambl[a7]e
[D7]round past the newsstands and [g]out across the floors

And [dm]i [f]did some [c]singing, [dm]and I [f]played [c]guitar, [dm]do[f]wn near a [c]doorwa[a7]y
[D7]howling out words and [g]banging out chords

{Soc}
Well, [c]think what you will, [em]laugh if you like, it [am]don't make no [em]difference to [f]me
[C]I'll open my case, [em]and I might catch a coin, but [f]all ears may [g]listen for [c]free
{C:intro riff}
{Eoc}

[Dm]bi[f]g clocks were [c]tickin', [dm]tra[f]ins came and [c]went, [dm]sa[f]d, ragged [c]figur[a7]es
[D7]limped in the hallways and [g]dug through the trash

While [dm]ol[f]d folks and [c]young folks, [dm]passed [f]in a [c]flood, [dm]on[f] dashing [c]somewhe[a7]re
[D7]wrapped in their lives and [g]gone in a flash

{C:chorus}

{Eot}

Well, a [dm]man[f] came a [c]talkin', [dm]he st[f]opped where I [c]stood. he w[dm]arn[f]ed me so [c]gravel[a7]y
'The [d7]cops here'll nab ya, boy and they'll [g]take ya right on down,' yes, but

[Dm]i [f]took my [c]chances, and [dm]luc[f]k saw me [c]through, [dm]i s[f]tayed until I'd [c]finish[a7]ed
[D7]played what I pleased and [g]poured out my sound

{C:chorus}
