Talking:
hey sat through the 
night In an empty apartment
3 older gentlemen came inside
And they brought wine and cards
and chocolate. And Joey smoked 
on a cigar and came back in
So you think he's something
special do you mean? 


C5     Eb5
  He Is no one
  Ab5 Ab5   Bb5
He   is a stranger
  G5           C5
I met on the Street


Verse 1:
C5  Bb5            Eb5
He stared through hard
         G5
cold insolent eyes
C5           Bb5
  Turned his gaze with her
            Eb5
Fear hidden quite
             G5
secure under blank
        C5
features Protruding middle
    Bb5
she sat unashamed
Eb5
  She read his judgement
       G5
on his concerned face
C5
  With slight sarcasm He 
  Bb5
addressed Her case
Eb5
  Is it too much to ask
   G5
to know about your lover's name?


Chorus 1:
C5     Eb5
  He Is no one
  Ab5 Ab5   Bb5
He   is a stranger
  G5           C5
I met on the Street
   Eb5
He never touched
me You're
Ab5    Ab5
all I need
         Bb5       G5
And Will ever need


Verse 2:
Ab5
But his eyes won't
Eb5
be almond like yours
         Ab5
nor blue like mine with
        C5
all the sins of the
world in the Iris
Ab5
There's no false blood
Eb5
But you will love him
               Ab5
He's from Gold Gardens
Our help before
C5
Atlas was ever born
alright!!!
