F#m11
On a bus to St.Cloud, Minnesota, I thought I saw you there,
With the snow falling down a - round you, like a silent----- prayer,
And once on a street in New York city,
F#m11
With the jazz, and the sin in the air,
And once on a cold L.A. freeway, going----- nowhere!
And it s strange, but it s true, I was... sure----- it was you,
Just a face... in the crowd, on a bus... to St.Cloud--------!
F#m11
In a church in downtown New Orleans, I got down on my knees and prayed,
And I wept in the arms of Jesus, for the choice------ you made,
F#m11
We were just getting to the good part, just getting past the mystery,
Oh-----, and it s just like you, it s just like you, to disagree!
And it s strange, but it s true, you just... slipped---- out of view,
Like a face... in the crowd, on a bus... to St.Cloud--------!
And you chase me like a shadow,
And you haunt me like a ghost,
And I hate you some, and I love you some, but I miss you most!
F#m11

Oo ------ oo, oo--------, oh, oh----!

Chord shapes are relative to capo position:
= x02220 = xx0220
F#m11 = 244200 = x40220
= xx0232 = x24232
= 022100 = 020100
= 020200 = 002220
= x02200 = 244222
A(type2) = x02225 (barre 2nd fret)
For the F#m11, use the thumb to hold the bass note,
if you find this tricky, just don t play the bottom string.
