Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"

I muttered something underneath my breath

Of my shoe

and offered me a pipe

"I thought you'd never say hello," she said,
     RE
"You look like the silent type"
         LA          SOL/LA
Then she opened up a book of poems
    LA           SOL/LA
And handed it to me
LA             SOL/LA
Written by an Italian poet
         RE
From the thirteenth century
    MI                FA#m 
And every one of them words rang true
    LA                  RE
And glowed like burning coal
MI             FA#m
Pouring off of every page
        LA                RE
Like it was written in my soul

From me to you

I lived with them on Montague street
LA                     SOL/LA
In a basement down the stairs
          LA             SOL/LA
There was music in the cafés at night
        RE
And revolution in the air
     LA                  SOL/LA
Then he started into dealing with slaves
    LA                      SOL/LA
And something inside of him died
LA                   SOL/LA
She had to sell everything she owned
    RE
And froze up inside
    MI                  FA#m
And when it finally the bottom fell out
LA            RE
I became withdrawn
    MI                FA#m
The only thing I knew how to do
    LA                 RE
Was to keep on keeping on
                 MI
Like a bird that flew

   LA            SOL/LA
So now I'm going back again
         LA             SOL/LA
I got to get to her somehow
LA                SOL/LA
All the people we used to know
             RE
They're an illusion to me now
LA              SOL/LA
Some are mathematicians
LA                   SOL/LA
Some are carpenter's wives
       LA                 SOL/LA
Don't know how it all got started
             RE
I don't know what they do with their lives
    MI           FA#m
But me I'm still on the road
  LA                  RE
A-heading for another joint
   MI         FA#m
We always did feel the same
        LA                  RE
We just saw it from a different point
   MI
Of view
