[Verse 1]
G    F              Em           
Hey, buddy, can you spare me some 
 C
change?
Am        Dbm            D      
Me and my lady trying to get 
       G
back to Detroit
        G               F         
They're ripping off the customers 
    Em                    C
and tearing the buildings down
    Am               Cm           
The ship seems to be sinking, and 
D                 G
everyone's moving out


[Chorus]
    F                   Eb    G
But maybe it's just the way I feel
    C                 D  G
For some have been so ki-nd
F          Cm            D       
Maybe it's just that I'm far from 
 G
home
    C                A   C       
And you, and you and you,  been 
     D     Eb   D
on my mind


[Verse 2]
G            F                   
Faces in the curtains whilst the 
Em          C
sirens were screaming
A              C               
Disturbing the dreaming that I 
Eb          G
had without sleep
G               F            E  
Hustlers on the block taking 
          C
every cent I got
        A               C         
So it's dollars for the barman to 
D                 G
give my mind some ease

And you, and you and you,  been

on my mind


[Verse 3]
G           F             Em    
Someone has bled an angry slogan
        C
 on the wall
Am              C           
Just across the street from my 
   D        G
luxury hotel
        G              F          
And the letters are so big that 
         Em            C
from close up you cannot read them
        A             C           
But I'm high up in my room and I 
   Eb             G
can read them very well.


[Chorus]
    F                   Eb    G
But maybe it's just the way I feel
    C                 G
For some have been so ki-nd
F          Cm            Eb      
Maybe it's just that I'm far from 
 G
home

Fm        Db   C         Eb    
Me and my lady trying to get

[Verse 4]
G    Ab       F                
Hopalong, the Bowery Boys, and 
Em            C
all my cowboy heroes
Am               C                
Saturday morning picture memories 
Eb              G
floating in the air
      G             F             
"Give my regards to Broadway," 
    Em         C
said a grey-faced statue
        A         C          
Who was obviously stoned to be 
  Eb               G
standing in that square.


[Chorus]
    F                   Eb    Ab
But maybe it's just the way I feel
    Db        F       Ab G
For some have been so ki-nd
F          Cm            Eb      
Maybe it's just that I'm far from 
 G
home
    C        Fm      Bbm      Eb
And you, and you and you,     
         Ab
been on my mind
