On Yonge Street Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 Em
[VERSE 1:]
See the people walking [Cmaj7]up and down[Em]
See the people moving [Cmaj7]all around[Em]
On the streets of [Cmaj7]my hometown
On [D]Yonge [G]Street[B7] [Em]
[VERSE 2:]
Longest street in the [Cmaj7]world they say[Em]
Summertime soon [Cmaj7]slips away[Em]
I hope I'll see you [Cmaj7]one fine day
On [D]Yonge [G]Street
[CBORUS:]
[D]Everywhere you go in a [Am]city by a [C]lake
[D]Back there in the flow you may [Am]give a hand a [C]shake
[D]Everyone you pass seems to [Am]want to say hel[C]lo
[D]Even late at night on the [Am]freshly fallen [C]snow [Em] [Cmaj7] [Em] [Cmaj7] [Em]
[VERSE 3:]
See the children jumping [Cmaj7]all around [Em]
See the parents looking [Cmaj7]up and down [Em]
Upon the streets of [Cmaj7]my hometown
On [D]Yonge [G]Street [B7] [Em]
[VERSE 4:]
It's a mean street [Cmaj7]if you choose [Em]
It's a lean street [Cmaj7]when you lose [Em]
An in between street [Cmaj7]when you cruise
Along [D]Yonge [G]street
[CBORUS:]
[D]Everywhere you go in a [Am]city by a [C]lake
[D]You'll be sure and find it's a [Am]case of give and [C]take
[D]Everyone you pass seems to [Am]want to say hel[C]lo
[D]Even late at night when the [Am]streets are all a[C]glow[Em] [Cmaj7] [Em] [Cmaj7] [Em]
[VERSE 5:]
It's the longest street [Cmaj7]in the world [Em]
With the most feet [Cmaj7]in the world [Em]
Another street where [Cmaj7]boy meets girl
On [D]Yonge [G]street[B7] [Em]
[VERSE 6:]
See the people walking [Cmaj7]up and down [Em]
See the people moving [Cmaj7]all around [Em]
Those are the streets of [Cmaj7]my hometown
On [D]Yonge [G]Street
