Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are two acoustic guitars and two electric guitars in this one. I'm going to show you the chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

THE CHORDS:

A D
A D
(GUITAR & HARP INTRO)

A F#m D A
There's a runaway on a cold big city street

F#m E A D
Trying her best to stay warm

A F#m D A
On a subway grate she kneels down for the heat

F#m E A D
And prays for shelter from the storm
 

E A G
As people hurry by on their way home where they dream

D A E
Of a world without sadness and pain

A F#m D A
They turn their heads not a one of them feels ashamed

F#m E A D
What's another tear in the rain
 
 

A F#m D A
There the old man stands in a station for a western train

F#m E A D
Going to where, he don't know

A F#m D A
They call him when they can but it still just ain't the same

F#m E A D
He's learning to leave and let go


 
E G
As people hurry by on their way home where they dream

D A E
Of a world without sadness and pain

A F#m D A
They turn their heads not a one of them feels ashamed

F#m E A
What's another tear in the rain
 


F#m E A D
When I was a kid it all seemed oh so simple and clear

Bm F#m D A E
We're supposed to take care of each other while we're here

A F#m D A
But we turn our heads not a one of us feels ashamed

F#m E A
What's another tear in the rain

F#m E A
What's another tear in the rain


A F#m D A F#m E A D

A F#m D A F#m E A D
(HARP SOLO)

A F#m D A F#m E A D
A F#m D A F#m E
(GUITAR STUFF)
