CROWDED STREET
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
Gm - Cm - Gm - F-F#-Gm <-progression repeats during verses
INTRO: doo-doo-doo... (etc.)
I. people say I'm very strange
to keep holding on to a dream.
but my father said:
she's the one you'll wed.
and I can't change it now.
not gonna giver her up.
don't know how to stop.
and I'm not really wanting to.
I know her ways
and where she stays.
and when she plays,
I see who comes and goes.
II. through the screen I see her there
as she serenely combs her hair.
gonna wear my name -
like a hurricane.
ill winds disturb the shade.
walkin' a crowded street,
callers pound concrete.
who put up this barricade?
give me a bomb,
an Uzi gun,
uranium,
arrows or a hand grenade.
