Intro:
E — C#m — Bm — A
E — D — A — E
E C#m
I sold my piano
Bm A
It couldn't come with me
E
I locked up my bedroom
D A
and I walked out into the air
E C#m
When nothing I needed
Bm A
is left there behind me
E D
I walk out through the shadows
A E
Of Washington Square
E C#m Bm A
Now I wander the highway from Dublin to Berkeley
E D A
and I heard the songbirds of Valley Paurine
E C#m
I loved like a fountain
Bm A
and it left me with nothing
E D A E
just the memories of walking through Washington Square
E C#m
Now I live in the shadows
Bm A
where light is electric
E
and time is a number
D A
that rests on a wall
E C#m
Nobody knows me
Bm A
my friends and my family
E D
are as far from this city
A E
as Washington Square
Harmonica solo:
E — C#m — Bm — A
E — C#m — Bm — A
E — C#m — Bm — A
E — D — A — E
E C#m
So cover this warm night
Bm A
in a blanket of starlight
E
And I'll follow this freeway
D A
out into the air
E C#m
in case you should wonder
Bm A
and wanted to find me
E D A E
I'm traveling homeward to Washington Square
E D(hold) E
I'm traveling homeward to Washington Square
E — C#m — Bm — A E — C#m — Bm — A E — Bm — A — E
