Am F G
Wet wind on the sidewalk: I'm staring at the rain.
Am F G
Walking up the street, yeah, and walking down again.
G F G
And my feet are tired and my brain is numb.
Em Am G G F G
See that broken neon sign saying, hey, in you come.
Am F G
Got the scent of stale beer hanging, hanging round my head.
Am F G
Old dog in the corner sleeping like he could be dead.
G F G
A book of matches and a full ashtray.
Em Am G
Cigarette left smoking it's life away.
Dm G
Another Harry's bar -- or that's the tale they tell.
Dm G
But Harry's long gone now, and the customers as well.
C C F F F C G
Me and the dog and the ghost of Harry will make this world turn right.
F G
It'll all turn right.
Am F G
God's tears on the sidewalk: it's the mother of all rain.
Am F G
But in the thick blue haze of Harry's, you will feel no pain.
G F G
And you will feel no soft hand slipping on your knee.
Em Am G
You don't have to pay for memories, they will all come free.
Dm G
Another Harry's bar -- or that's the tale they tell.
Dm G
But Harry's long gone now, and the customers as well.
C C F F F C G
Me and the dog and the ghost of Harry will make this world turn right.
F G Am
It'll all turn right.
Am Em D
Now when Harry was a young man, Harry was so debonair.
G F C
He walked a bouncy step in his shiny shoes.
Am Em D
And when Harry was a young man, well, Harry could walk on air.
Dm G F
He mixed a mean cocktail and he talked you through the late news.
F
You want to hear some great news
F
Harry's still here.
Am F G
Wet wind on the sidewalk: I'm still staring at the rain.
Am F G
Walking up the street, and I'm walking down again.
G F G
And my feet are tired and my brain is numb.
Em Am G
See that broken neon sign saying, in you come.
Dm G
Another Harry's bar -- or that's the tale they tell.
Dm G
But Harry's long gone now, and the customers as well.
C C F F F C G
Me and the dog and the ghost of Harry will make this world turn right.
F G
We'll make this world turn right.
Am F G
Another Harry's bar.
And another Harry's bar.
And another, and another Harry's bar.
