Capo on 2nd. Essentially, it's E and A2 the entire song.
[E]
As I walk these narrow streets
[A2] [E]
Where a million passin' feet have trod before me
With my guitar in my hand
[A2] [E]
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me
[A2]
Where yesterday the multitude
[E]
Screamed and cried my name out for a song
Today the streets are empty
[A2] [E]
And the crowds have all gone home
I pass a million houses
[A2] [E]
But there is no place that I belong
All I knew to give you
[A2] [E]
Was song after song after song
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/nick_cave_and_the_bad_seeds/the_singer_crd.html ]
[A2]
All the truths I tried to tell you
[E]
Were as distant to you as the moon
[A2]
Born 200 years too late
[E]
And 200 years too soon
I'm a child of this age
[A2] [E]
Locked into the pages of your book
And when I am but dust and clay
[A2] [E]
And all the children stop to take a look
[A2]
Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform
[E]
And the heights I did aspire
[A2]
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
[E]
To light a fire
With the rain on my face
[A2] [E]
There is no place that I belong
Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?
And did you forget my song?
This is that rad guitar riff. Tabs relative to capo.
