BAKER STREET
Gerry Rafferty/Waylon Jennings cover
[Intro 1]
G D G D F C A G Dm D F C A G
F D F D F C A7 G
[Verse]
A (Asus4)
Winding your way down on Baker Street
A (Asus4)
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Em G
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
D D
(Dsus4)
And forget about every thing
A (Asus4)
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
A (Asus4)
it?s got So many people but it?s got no soul
Em G
And it?s taken you so long to find out you were wrong
D D
(Dsus4)
When you thought it held every thing.
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am7
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm7 Am7
You used to say that it was so easy
C G D
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Dm7 Am7
Another year and then you'd be happy
Dm7 Am7
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
C G A
But you're cryin', you're cryin now
A (Asus4)
Way down the street there's a light in his place
A (Asus4)
He opens the door; he's got that look on his face
Em G
And he asks you where you?ve been, you tell him who you've seen
D D
(Dsus4)
And you talk about any thing
A (Asus4)
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
A (Asus4)
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Em G
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
D D
(Dsus4)
And forget about every thing
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am7
But you know he'll always keep moving
Dm7 Am7
You know he's never gonna stop moving
C G D
Cause he's rollin, He's the rolling stone
Dm7 Am7
And when you wake up it's a new morning
Dm7 Am7
The sun is shining it's a new morning
C G A
And you're going, you're going home
