Washington Square

I sold my piano.

(C#m7)It couldn't come with me.

(A5)I locked up my bedroom

and I walked out into the air.

When nothing I needed

(C#m7)was left there behind (Bm7)me,

(A5)I walked out through the shadows

(Bm7)of Washington Square.

I wandered the highways

(C#m7)from Dublin to (Bm7)Berkeley,

(A5)and I heard the songbirds way of Balley Poreen.

But I loved like a fountain (C#m7)and it left me with nothing,

(A5)just mem'ries of walk citing (Bm7)through Washington Square.

Now I live in the shad (E5)ows

(C#m7)where light is (Bm7)electric

(A5)and time is a number way that rests on a wall.

And I nobody knows me,

(C#m7)my friends and my family

(A5)are as far from this city (Bm7)as Washington Square.

Now I live in the shad

(E5)So cover this warm I'm traveling homeward (Bm7)to Washington Square,

(A5)Washington Square,

(A5)Washington Square.
