1st Verse:

D
Standing on a corner
G
Passing time away
 A
I thought I heard an organ grinder
G                     D
Singing as he played
D
He had a little monkey
          G
With a little cup of tin
              A
And he danced for joy when someone
 G           D  
 put a penny in

     D                          A
     He sang, love me, love me, love
     G                D
     Why did you ever leave me, girl
     D                        A
     If you love me, love me, love
     G                D
     Why did you ever go

     Why did you ever leave me, girl

     Why did you ever go


     2nd Verse:

D
I couldn't help but wonder
               G
How the old man got his song
            A
What a tragic tale of loneliness
        G             D
How fate had done him wrong
D          
Whatever made the old man
        G
Want to brave the cold and rain
    A
And tell the world his story
     G                    D
'Til death could ease the pain


          Chours:

     D                          A

     Why did you ever leave me, girl
     D                        A
     If you love me, love me, love
     G                D
     Why did you ever go
     D                        A
     If you love me, love me, love
     G                D
     Why did you ever leave me, girl
     D                        A
     If you love me, love me, love
     G                D
     Why did you ever go


     3rd Verse

D
I went back to the corner
           G
Just to hear the old man play
   A
A policeman said the old man
G                      D
Died one cold November day
D
I waited for a minute
     G
Then sadly walked away

Though I couldn't see the old man
     G               D
I'm sure I heard him play
