18th Avenue (Kansas City nightmare) by Cat Stevens
CAPO: 2nd Fret
VERSE 1:
Well, I r[A]ode awhile for a [D]mile or so,
Down the [Em]road to the 18th [A]Avenue,
And the [A]people I saw were the [D]people I know,
And they [Em]all came down to [A]take a view,
The [A]path was dark and [D]borderless,
Down the [Em]road to the 18th [A]Avenue,
And it [A]stung my tongue to re[D]peat the words
That I [C]used to use only [Bb]yesterday,
[A] Meanings just [D]dropped to the [C]ground,
[G] [A] I tried to re[D]member what I [C]thought and what I [Bb]used to say,
[F] Don’t let me go[Eb] down, no, don’t let me go!
[Bb] [F] [Eb] [Eb] [F] [G] [A] [Asus][A]
VERSE 2:
Oh, my [Bb]hands were tied as I s[Eb]truggled inside
The [Db]empty waste of a[B]nother day,
[Bb] Memories were [Eb]blank to my [Db]eyes,
[Ab] [Bb] The fire and the [Eb]glory of that [Db]night seems safely [B]locked away,
[Gb] Too hungry to [E]rise, oh, too hungry to...
