[Intro ]


I'm not sure if this is 100% right, but I couldn't find it anywhere so had a go.  

G Em 


        Em              Bm 

Small town girl, small town girl 

     E                   Bm     

Passed by empty parts unkind and in a small town world 

    A7        Bm        C        Gm 

To the streets of New York City, pull some triumph in your mind 

A7             Bm              C               D 

And our liberty, unladen found in you is so unkind 

    Em        Bm 

People change, as bidden little girls 

    G7                    Bm 

Did you want some other promise, small town girl 

    Am C        D    

In a search for liberation 

             C 

All the children in the wind 

    Am               D        C        D7    G 

Where a small town congregation cast you out or let you in 


Chorus 

    D7        Am     G 

No you don't have to say 

    D7        F    G 

I know where I go astray 

           F            C     

It was gunna go down anyway 

G                F        G 

I only wish that I could've known what I know now today 


(same as verse 1) 
As a boy, as a boy 

Well I was just so serious, as a boy 

And all the streets of New York City, 

Shut me right down to my core 

Now I've been battered scared and broken 

But I'm not scared anymore 


No you don't have to say 

I know where I go estranged 

It was gunna go down anyway 

I only wish that I could have know what I know now today 


Instrumental 

yeah yeahhh 

da da dada da da da 

da da dada da da da 


No you don't have to say? 

I know where I go astray 


No you don't have to say 

I know where I go astray 

It was gunna go down anyway 

I only wish that I could have known what I know now today 

I only wish that I could have known what I know now today 

I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
