People going, coming

Traffic always humming
D A
A sweet city song

Everyone your neighbor

Living at a flavor
D A
With a sweet city song

There was a certain way

That the city sang

Made you glad you belonged

I remember now

That the rhythm somehow

Made me want to sing along

Do do do do, sweet city song

Do do do do, sweet city song
A E
Oh, come on along
Verse 2
A
Boxes on a brick wall

Boys are playing stickball

The chicks are walking by

Something bout their sweaters

Made you play a little better
D A
Or at least you'd try

Meanwhile on the corner

A group is singing

In three-part harmony

There was a time

When you couldn't find

A better place to be

Come on Along
All Around Town
Verse 3
G
A junkie steals, a mayor deals
Dm
Who knows what's coming next
C
Traffic jams and greedy hands
D
Did you read it in the text
G
Of the daily news, The subway blues
Dm
How does your garden grow
C
Endless strikes and the likes
D G
All lined up in a row
Chorus All Around Town
G
Something is wrong here
C
It doesn't belong here
G
People are locking themselves
D
Behind their own four walls
G
It falls from the skies here
D
But no one's surprised here
G
And maybe that's the
D G D G D
Saddest part of all
Verse 4
G
Jesus freaks Mohammad speaks
Dm
The Lord is on their team
C
Tenements and midtown rents
D
All rich and poor, no in-between
G
Say a prayer and breathe the air
Dm
In the cold or heat
C
When evening falls, the city calls
D
But the lights only shine
G
On empty streets
Chorus-All Around Town
G
Something is wrong here
C
It doesn't belong here
G
People are locking themselves
D
Behind their own four walls
G
It falls from the skies here
D
But no one's surprised here
G
And maybe that's the
D G
Saddest part of all
