It’s a late Friday night, the street lamps are shining up in my-- bedroom
          F          C                 F           C                   Am   D     G
There’s a mighty big fight between the thunder and lightning, I wonder who-- will lose
          E7       Am         F            G
There’s a party balloon and I ain’t been invited
     E7           Am          F             G
Hey, look at that moon, there ain’t nothing like it
    C   E7   F   D
All grey and gold

Can see Mr. Bouvier, in his two-bedroom basement in his purple dungarees
     F               C            F                C             Am   D     G
He’s grumpy and he’s grey, always sweeping off the pavement cigarettes and leaves
    E7          Am            F            G
His kid’s up in China and his wife’s up in heaven
E7       Am                F          G
Always I wave, ‘cause he’s got this expression
          C  E7  F   D
That he’s so-- alone

Oh-- I think tomorrow night I will knock on his door and hear all about his life
          E7                                  Am                    Bb
Because I think that’s the kind of thing that I might like when I’m old
         F
When I’m old

        F               C            F             C                 Am  D     G
There’s Max and there’s Maude in the house by the station, call them my-- best friends
       F             C              F          C                  Am       D        G
But he drinks like a horse, and she don’t appreciate it, all this money he seems to spend
      E7          Am              F         G
I can hear them tonight; he can’t find no vocation
        E7              Am            F        G
And the neighbours they sigh, at that new generation
     C  E7   Am    D
Just getting stoned

Oh, I think in the summertime I will call you up make everything alright
          E7                         Am                    Bb
And we’ll fill up our cups with that bitter wine, and I’ll show you
     F
I’ll show you

    F              C          F                C              Am         D          G
The mice are still here, your wardrobe’s still empty, and the walls are still paper thin
        F             C            F                C                     Am      D         G
And the neighbours my dear, well I think they still hate me for all these songs I endlessly sing
           E7                Am       F                G
Because it ain’t no perfect street, I ain’t no perfect lover
    E7         Am             F               G
And life it is brief, I don’t think we get no other
C    E7   Am   D
Come back home
