      C5               G5
I was heading down to Spring Street
       C5              D5
With a suitcase in my hand
                A5                E5
And filled with love and life and grand delusions
  C5                D5
I knew you?d understand
       C5                G5
When I left you by the stairwell
         C5                  D5
And your eyes were wet with tears
            A5               E5
Mother, you knew you had to let me go
     C5               D5
Even after all these years


(And we sing) 
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(And she said)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(And walk on)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(You're alright)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na

       C5              G5    
And I found myself a new life
              C5                 D5
And I?ve been living with some friends
           A5                E5
And we hold on to dreams and live like kings
          C5              D5
Like the days will never end
       C5               G5
And I left him by the statue
        C5                      D5
And his eyes were filled with tears
           A5              E5
Lover you knew you had to let me go
      C5               D5
Even after all these years

(And we sing)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(And he said)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(We?ll walk on)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(You're alright)
A5                D5
Na na na na na na na

                C5
And everything changes
                   G5
And friends become strangers
    F5               C5           D5
And what we hold so dear slips away
                 C5
The past keeps on fading
                   G5
But I?ll never forget you
     F5                          C5
It?s hard to see that you?re a part of me
              D5
Even when we have to say

A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(And walk on)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(And we sing)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(You?re alright)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na

       C5               G5     
And I moved out of the city
           C5            D5
To start a family of my own
           A5             E5
And when I look into my daughter's eyes
      C5              D5
And I don?t feel so alone
         C5                 G5
And as I walk her down to Spring Street
        C5              D5
And she holds on to my hand
             A5                  E5
Mother, you knew my eyes would be wet with tears
    C5            D5
And now I understand

A5                E5 
Na na na na na na na
(And I said)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(Walk on)
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
(And thank you)
A5                D5
Na na na na na na na

A5 E5
       And walk on
A5 E5
       We?re alright
A5 E5
       And hold on
A5                E5
Na na na na na na na
