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