[Verse]
A
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Em G
Well, another crazy day, you drink the night away
D
And forget about everything
A
This city desert makes you feel so cold, it's got
So many people but it's got no soul
Em G
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
D
When you thought it held everything
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am7
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm7 Am7
You used to say that it was so easy
C G D
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Dm7 Am7
Another year and then you'd be happy
Dm7 Am7
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
C G A
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now
[Verse]
A
Way down the street there's a light in his place
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
Em G
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
D
And you talk about anything
A
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Em G
And then he'll settle down, in a quiet little town
D
And forget about everything
[Chorus]
Dm7 Am7
But you know he'll always keep moving
Dm7 Am7
You know he's never gonna stop moving
C G D
Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
Dm7 Am7
And when you wake up it's a new morning
Dm7 Am7
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
C G A
And you're going, you're going home

If we are all just sitting and jamming with friends, aren't all these little corrections just minutia? If we were getting paid or doing session work, then it would matter. I'm 48 and only been playing 9 months so all of this is still really confusing. All I know is the more I practice and the more effort I put in to getting better, the more it sounds like music. So, thanks everyone for all the help(PlasticArmy) and others. Someday I'll sack-up and write something. Got a new lease on life by picking up a $300.00 Yamaha so if I can do it with my sausage fingers, ANYONE CAN!. Keep working and breaking through those barriers
