Original Artist - Streetlight Singer guitar chord

Streetlight Singer

Written by: John Baumann

2003

Capo:1

G D Em7

I heard when he was young he was a star

G D Em7

Played all the stages and small town bars

G D Em7

Had himself a pretty good band

G D Em7

And they decided to give Nashville a chance

Cadd D G

But the beer and the women and fame came

Cadd9 D G

And one day, he just faded away

G D Em7

Its 40 degrees on this cold, winter night

G D Em7

But he’s still playing his guitar under the streetlight

G D Em7

Picks break, strings snap

G D Em7

But he keeps on coming back

CHORUS

Cadd9 D G

He watches the people dance when he closes his eyes

No dreams of Nashville, just music flowing in his mind

I used to come and watch him play

Singing songs about good times and old days

Cadd9 G

Streetlight Singer(2x)

He looks down in his empty case

But he keeps a smile on his face

People all just pass him bye

All alone, playing on in to the night

Chorus

Bridge

C Em

Oh and as the people pass, the years do too

He grows old and gray

And one day he wasn’t there anymore

C D

Guess he just faded away

Chorus 2

He would’ve liked to watch the people dance on their feet

Humming to his melody

Always watching him play

Singing songs about good times and old days

Streetlight Singer(2x)
