The Bland - Strangers on the side of the street
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Over bridges we rode and by the fifth one we stopped
E B
A street hearing nothing but streams from the silent canal
E
But a sound rung out when we stumbled to the ground and we dropped
E B
The double bass we adopted from our old friend Hal
[Chorus]
E A E
We're strangers on the side of the street
E B
Crying out
E A E
Strangers throw a glimpse our way
E B A B E
and we will shout for you, crying out for you
[Verse 2]
E
Our sleepless feet took us walking on the road into town
E B
The people pointed and smiled and the drunk men said hi
E
The weight hanging on our shoulders wouldn't lower us down
E B
And the screetches and screams from the cars felt like birds singing by
[Chorus]
E A E
We're strangers on the side of the street
E B
Crying out
E A E
Strangers throw a glimpse our way
E B A B E
and we will shout for you, crying out for you
[Bridge]
C#m B A
And the sad ones told us you won't make it here
C#m B A B
The uniforms will take you down, mark my words
[Verse 3]
E
The central square was our goal and we sat on the ground
E B
A street artist came our way and made our spirits go down
E
He said we don't want you here, your not from around
E B
We smiled and said give us a chance and we played our sounds
[Chorus]
E A E
We're strangers on the side of the street
E B
Crying out
E A E
Strangers throw a glimpse our way
E B A B E
and we will shout for you, crying out for you
[Outro]
E
