A5                         G5     D5                     A5
Down city streets I would roam , I had no bed I had no home.
                         D5      G5       D5            A5
There was nothing that I owned, used my fingers as a comb.
A5                         D5
Crawled out of the bushes early morn.
G5        D5         A5                                      D5
Used newspapers to keep me warm , then I'd have to score a drink.
G5       D5            A5
Calm my nerves, help me to think.


A5                         G5     D5                     A5
Down city streets I would roam , I had no bed I had no home.
                         D5      G5       D5            A5
There was nothing that I owned, used my fingers as a comb.
                         D5      G5            D5        A5
In those days when I was young, drinking and fighting was no fun.
                        D5   G5     D5                 A5
It was daily living for me, I had no choice. It was meant to be.


A5                         G5     D5                     A5
Down city streets I would roam , I had no bed I had no home.
                             G5      D5                    A5
And there was nothing that I owned, used my fingers as a comb.

Now I'm a wo/man, I'm not alone. I am married, I have children of my own.
                               D5    G5            D5              A5
Now I have something I call my own, these are my children, this is my home.
                       D5      G5               D5         A5
I look around and understand, how street kids feel when they're put down.


A5                         G5     D5                     A5
Down city streets I would roam , I had no bed I had no home.
                             D5      G5       D5            A5
And there was nothing that I owned, used my fingers as a comb.
                             G5      D5                    A5    G5
And there was nothing that I owned, used my fingers as a comb.
G5         A5        G5         A5        G5         A5
Down city streets. Down city streets. Down city streets.
