Dear Mr. Omar Bay,
A                               C   B
Heard news that you left today.
Em                                    G            A 
You still countin' all them taxicabs, takin' you back
                                C           B
 to the time you have left?
Em                                   G
Do you well remember Vietnam,
A                                              C     
When you had a mother who loved her son?

Omar Bay, I think I'm fallin' to pieces.
                  C                             G      
Won't you help a good man get up and back on his feet?

C                                                    
Five winters, five winters in New York is plenty.

I'd even say it's four too many.

Dear Mr. Omar Bay,
A                                              C    B
I saw your old friend form the war today.
Em                                       G           
He said you went to seek God in a church or to get 
           A                         C     B
some warmth, whatever came first.
Em                                      G
And now your standpipe it stands alone.
A                                    C        B
If where you place your cap is your home,
Em                       A          D               
Did you have to leave us all and go away?
