G5          C5          G5                   C5 
In my time I have been a rich man given favours 
G5            C5          G5                          C5        G5 
All the world at my feet and it's many different flavours 
         E5        G5      C5   D5 
I sucked it all dry now I realise 
       G5                         C5   D5 
I'm a beggar on the street of love 
       G5                         C5   D5 
I'm a beggar on the street of love 
       G5                         C5   D5 
I'm a beggar on the street of love 
G5            C5               G5 
All the rest have no charm 
                          C5 
There's nothing they can give me 
G5          C5                G5 
What I want makes me poor 
                            C5        G5 
In this great big world of plenty 
      E5              G5             C5       D5 
I'm holding out my cup only you can fill it up 
       G5                         C5   D5 
I'm a beggar on the street of love 
       G5                         C5   D5 
I'm a beggar on the street of love 
       G5                         C5   D5    *  
I'm a beggar on the street of love 
C5               G5            A5              C5  D5  E5 
       On my own I'm standing so patiently 
             G5              A5 
And my heart keeps calling 
                 F5       D5     G5 
Calling out for you to see 
                                  C5            D5     G5 
You look right through me and you pass me by 
                                  C5            D5 
You look right through me and you pass me by 
 
 *  - CODA 
                                  C5            D5     G5 
You look right through me and you pass me by 
                                  C5            D5 
You look right through me and you pass me by 
 
 *  - CODA 
D5       G5   C5 D5 
I'm a beggar, I'm a beggar. 
 
Repeat and then fade. 
 
 
Take my hand, lead me to 
Your loving milk and honey 
Cover me, keep me from 
The night so cold and rainy 
Please, I'm down on my knees 
I'm a beggar on the street of love.
