Pre-Chorus

Walking down the sidewalk one purple afternoon
I was accosted by a barker
Playing a simple tune upon his flute
Toot toot toot toot

Chorus

Silver rain was falling down
G7 G6 Gsus4 G* D | G7 G6 Gsus4 G | D |
Upon the dirty ground of London town

Verse 1

People pass me by on my imaginary street
Ordinary people it's impossible to meet
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
Well I don't know

Bridge

Oh, where are there places to go?
Someone, somewhere has to know
C/E Cmaj7/E F | F D D7 |
I don't know

Verse 2

Out of work again,the actor entertains his wife
With the same old stories of his ordinary life
Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife
Well, I don't know

Bridge

Oh, where are there places to go?
Someone, somewhere has to know

Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon
