Capital Blues

1986 - James Falkofske

I'm (A)livin' all alone in the (E)city
(A)Livin' all alone (E)again
I'm (A)livin' all alone in the (E)city
I need a (A)pretty girl for a (E)friend

(C)Late at night I sing my songs on the (D)city streets
(C)Just trying to make a dolla or (D)two
(C)Rich men in 3-piece pinstripes just (D)passin' by
(A)Don't seem fair, (E)but I do what I can (C)do(D)

Late at night the women on State Street look so fine
Deep plunge blouses and those skirts cut at the top of their thigh
They smile and laugh when smile and wink
but with no cash in hand I just nod goodbye
