I just love this song so much that I had to figure it out and share it with the rest of you. I know it's not 100% correct, but it sure sounds sweet when played nice and slow on an acoustic guitar. Intro: A (x02220@1)Vs1: A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) ALike (x02220@1)a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while D (xx0232@1) AWith (x02220@1)no purpose or direction to his life D (xx0232@1) EHe (022100@1)tried to get himself together A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) And pacify his mind A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) AAnd (x02220@1)forget about the things he left behind. Ch1: E (022100@1) AA (x02220@1)cryin' woman he left standing in his door F#m (244222@1) E (022100@1) AWith (x02220@1)a two month old baby in her arms E (022100@1) AHis (x02220@1)little black book he left torn upon the floor F#m (244222@1) D (xx0232@1) EGod (022100@1)only knows he never meant to do her wrong. Vs2: A careless weekend on the other side of town Has torn the king of Oak Street's Castle down And all week long he's tried to phone her But she won't let him explain Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain. Ch2: He sits now in a phone booth and he prays That she'll forgive him And she'll believe he's changed his ways With shaking hands he deposits his last dime And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time. Vs3: Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says "hello" Breakfast's almost ready baby, come on home I've thought the whole thing over And I think I understand That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man. D (xx0232@1) EI've (022100@1)thought the whole thing over A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) And I think I understand A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) AThat (x02220@1)the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man. There it is. Any corrections/comments are always welcome. Enjoy. ~BigDezDez
