BmJust across Emfrom the hospital
SBmtill in sight Emof the red lights
BmA couple blocks Emfrom the orthodox church
TBmhat's where the old Empoet lived
BmIn his eyeglasses Emand his necktie
BmAt the window loEmoking down
BmOn the young men pEmassing by
BmOn the fullness Emof the town
FEull of them gDood time gaAmblers
FEull of their reDstless wivAes
FEull of them Dmidnight wAriters
EOut in the Dquarter on a AFriday night
EOut in the bDrightness of a AFriday night
BmAnd the big horns blowed Emand the pianos played
BmAnd the music rEmose to the old man's ears
BmI guess thosEme were the olden days
BmI guess thoEmse were the golden years
And nEow the town is empty
EDmpty as a mirror
EAmpty as the harbor and the bDarber's chair
EWhere did the Dold poet go?
AI asked around
ENobody knowAsD  E  D  A  
BmMaybe I Emcame too early
BmMaybe I cEmame too late
BmI'm waiting in the shadows of thEme scaffolds
BmOf the old cafés where you told me Emto wait
BmAnd I've got this lEmingering feeling
BmIt's like I've sliEmpped between
BmFinger of the cEmentury
BmI know you know what I Emmean
IE'll be a gDood time gaAmbler
EI'll be a resDtless wAife
EI'll be a midDnight wriAter
EOut in the quaDrter on a FrAiday night
CEall me gDood time gaAmbler
CEall me a rDestless wAife
CEall me a miDdnight wAriter
EOut in the qDuarter on a FAriday night
EOut in the bDrightness of a FAriday night
ECall me the brDightness of a FrAiday

Just across from the hospital

Still in sight of the red lights

Bm Em

A couple blocks from the orthodox church

That's where the old poet lived

In his eyeglasses and his necktie

At the window looking down

On the young men passing by

On the fullness of the town

Full of them good time gamblers

E D A

Full of their restless wives

E D A

Full of them midnight writers

E D A

Out in the quarter on a Friday night

E D A

Out in the brightness of a Friday night

Bm Em

And the big horns blowed and the pianos played

Bm Em

And the music rose to the old man's ears

Bm Em

I guess those were the olden days

Bm Em

I guess those were the golden years

And now the town is empty

Empty as a mirror

Empty as the harbor and the barber's chair

Where did the old poet go?

I asked around

Nobody knows

It's like I've slipped between

I know you know what I mean
