I Am I Said:Neil Diamond.
#4 in UK & #4 in USA in '71.

#1.
A (x02220@1)             
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines, most of the time, 
D (xx0232@1)         
and the feeling is laid back. 
E (022100@1)                
Palm trees grow and rents are low but you know,  
       E7 (020130@1)            A (x02220@1)I keep thinking about..making my way back. 
#2.   
          A (x02220@1)                                                
Well, I'm New York City born and raised, 
                 A7 (x02020@1)             D (xx0232@1)but nowadays I'm lost between two shores, 
E (022100@1)                      E7 (020130@1)                                 
L.A.'s fine but it ain't home, 
E (022100@1)                 E7 (020130@1)             A (x02220@1)              
New York's home but it ain't mine no more. 
  
CHORUS:   
A (x02220@1)                     D (xx0232@1)I am, I said, to no one there, 
                                      A (x02220@1)    
and no one heard at all, not even the chair. 
E (022100@1)     A (x02220@1)               D (xx0232@1)I am, I cried, I am, said I, 
                                   A (x02220@1)        
and I am lost and I can't even say why...
E (022100@1)        A (x02220@1)           DA EA
leaving me lonely still. 
#2.  
A (x02220@1)Did you ever hear about the frog who dreamed of 
               Dbeing (xx0232@1)a king...and then became one? 
        E (022100@1)Well, except for the names and a few other changes, 
                      A (x02220@1)let me talk about me..story's the same one. 
#3.   
A (x02220@1)But I have an emptiness deep inside, and I tried, 
                    D (xx0232@1)but it won't let me go, 
    E (022100@1)and I'm not a man who likes to swear, 
                             E7 (020130@1)            A (x02220@1)but I've never cared for the sound of being alone.
