A      G#m    F#m          B            E     A E
Street choir; sing me the song for the new day.
Don't make it long
And remember to sing it the old way
Let it all out
Let your voice ring in the street now
My fun
Shall be this one to complete now

Chorus:
             G#m    A
Why did you leave America?
             B      E  A E
Why did you let me down?
              G#m         A
And now that things seem better off;
            B      E  A E
Why do you come around?
            G#m        A
You know I just can't see you now,
       B          E         A  E
In my new world crystal ball.
            G#m         A
You know I just can't free you now;
               B     E    A  E
That's not my job at all.

Move it on up
Move it on up by the window, move it on
A magnificent flow
Oh, let it all grow in the moonglow
I'll take the wine
I'll take the wine with the gravy
Ask you the time
And just send the bill to my baby

Chorus:
Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?
You know I just can't see you now (See you now)
In a-my, in a-my, in a-my new world crystal ball
You know I just can't free you now (Free you now)
That's not my job at all

Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?
You know I just can't free you now (Free you now)
In a-my, in a-my, in a-my new world crystal ball
You know, you know, you know
I just can't free you now (Free you now)
That's not my job at all

You know, you know, you know
I just can't free you now (Free you now)
That's not my job at all
You know, you know, you know
I just can't free you now (Free you now)
