    Intro:  / G - - - / C - D7sus4 - /


    G                                   C          G
    Broken windows and the empty hallways,
    G                Em                C      D7               G
    Pale-dead  moon and the sky streaked with gray.
    Bm        Em         Am7  G6/B  C         A7
    Human kindness is o  -  ver     flowing,
               Em         A7        C          G 
    And I think it's going to rain to-day.

     

    / G - - - / C - D7sus4 - /

    G                                       C        G
    Scarecrows dressed in the latest stylings,

               G        Em        C      D7     G
    With frozen smiles to chase love away.

    Bm        Em           Am7  G6/B  C  A7
    Human kindness is o  -  ver     flowing,
               Em         A7        C          G 
    And I think it's going to rain to-day.
     

    G    F    G     F     Bb    Dm

    Lonely
    G    F    G     F     Bb    Dm

    Lonely

    Gm
    Tin can at my feet,
    D#
    Think I'll kick it down the street,
    Bb                                 G                        
    That's no way to treat a friend.

    / C - Bb - /   

    G                       C           G
    Right before the signs implore me,

    G             Em     C      D7           G
    Help the needy, show them the way.
    Bm        Em           Am7  G6/B  C  A7
    Human kindness is o  -  ver     flowing,
               Em         A7        C          G 
    And I think it's going to rain to-day.
