The recording is a little out of tune, but it's closer to standard E tuning than it is to Eb.

When I was younger I chased butterflies
      D5     C#5           B5
now I look around and realize
A5              G5                  D5
there ain't no butterflies around here no more.

Now theres more people everywhere,

and on ground that once was bare

they've built condos and shopping malls.


       E5               F#5
and on streets I walked where the sun shined
        D5
shadows grow as buildings climb,
          A5             G5            B5     C#5 D5
and I get older getting colder every day.

The concrete stretches for miles

They put it up in different styles,

but it still looks pretty ugly to me....

What a Pity, They've fucked up this city

where I grew up.

Now it's grown too big and there's no room left for me.

The rest is a repeat of these parts.  End on 
A5 .
