leaking from a sad cafe Smiling faces try to understand I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand On Bleecker Street The poet reads his crooked rhyme Holy holy is his sacrament Thirty dollars pays your rent On Bleecker Street I heard a church bell softly chime In a melody sustaining It's a long road to Canaan On Bleecker Street Notes: ------ The bass note of the D/F# must be played with the thumb hooking over the guitar's neck. The bass note G in brackets in bar 5 can be played but only if you break the Travis pattern, it's optional.
