Verse I 
Dm				         D	         Gm 
All of the streets now are bare, the alleyways are his although 
Em7/5-	       A      Dm 
Once more he’s alone, flanked by his shadow 
Dm				      D	         Gm 
All of the streets now are bare, the alleyways belong to him 
Em7/5-	        A	      		 Dm    D 
Nothing worth the rush, nothing to miss 


Gm7		      C7   Fmaj7		       Bbmaj7 
If only one could turn, turn back the hands of time 
Gm7		        A7		  Dm  C/E   F      Adim 
Oh what a brilliant world, he would then have built, oh 
Gm7		        C7   Fmaj7			   Bbmaj7 
If one could just return, that which has long been gone 
Gm7						    A 
Oh how the world how the world, would be changed

Dm				        D		         Gm 
It’s been ten years now at least, spent walking through the silhouettes 
Em7/5-	        A          Dm 
Counting passing wheels, building up regrets 
Dm				        D		         Gm 
It’s been ten years now at least, spent walking morning day and eve 
Em7/5-	        A			 Dm     D 
There’s no one to love, nor one to leave 


Gm7		      C7   Fmaj7		       Bbmaj7 
If only one could turn, turn back the hands of time 
Gm7		        A7		  Dm  C/E   F      Adim 
Oh what a brilliant world, he would then have built, oh 
Gm7		        C7   Fmaj7			   Bbmaj7 
If one could just return, that which has long been gone 
Gm7						    A 
Oh how the world how the world, would be changed 


Verse III 
Dm			          D           Gm 
It’s a grey morn in the sky, the alleyways are his no mo’ 
Em7/5-	   A	   Dm 
People tell him come, people tell him go 
Dm				    D		  Gm 
It’s that grey morn in the sky, changes the picture then once more 
Em7/5-	  A		      Dm     D 
Sun, will you emerge, over the shore
