[Verse 1]
[G]I o[Bm]nce w[Am]as[C][D]

We share [Am]a dream I couldn't
[G]make come true
I was a [Em]child who wrote my name
Across a [Am]frosted window pane

[Verse 2]
[Dsus4]And there[D] are job[G]

Can you spare the time?
Can you spare a [Bm]dime?

And I am lonely
Do you [Am]ever think of me on
[Dsus4]Sunday?
[D]No. I don't live

Hey, I live [Am]right here
On this [G]corner
Just [D]a b[Em]ank account away from

I don't want a [Am]house there
on your [G]street
[D]And I [Em]know you think that I'm
As lazy as a [Am]hobo's [Dsus4]sigh
Now, you [D]call [G]me down 'n' outer[Bm]
If there's a [Am]way out
I've not [G]found 'er
[D]I only [Em]want to earn my piece [G]of [Dsus4]America[G]
