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
      D     C#           B
now I look around and realize
A              G                  D
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.


       E               F#
and on streets I walked where the sun shined
        D
shadows grow as buildings climb,
          A             G            B     C# D
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
