Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds The Singer Ukulele chords

The Singer Ukulele by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Capo on 2nd. Essentially, it's E and A2 the entire song.

[C]
As I walk these narrow streets
[F2]                                             [C]
Where a million passin' feet have trod before me

With my guitar in my hand
            [F2]                      [C]
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me

           [F2]
Where yesterday the multitude
                                                             [C]
Screamed and cried my name out for a song

Today the streets are empty
             [F2]                   [C]
And the crowds have all gone home


I pass a million houses
                  [F2]                    [C]
But there is no place that I belong

All I knew to give you
               [F2]                   [C]
Was song after song after song

[F2]
All the truths I tried to tell you
                                             [C]
Were as distant to you as the moon
                             [F2]
Born 200 years too late
                     [C]
And 200 years too soon


I'm a child of this age
[F2]                                        [C]
Locked into the pages of your book

And when I am but dust and clay
[F2]                                              [C]
And all the children stop to take a look

              [F2]
Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform
                                    [C]
And the heights I did aspire
[F2]
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
            [C]
To light a fire


With the rain on my face
[F2]                             [C]
There is no place that I belong

Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?

And did you forget my song?
