verse 1: 
                       Cmaj7        Em 
See the people walking up and down 
                      Cmaj7       Em 
See the people moving all around 
                  Cmaj7     
On the streets of my hometown 
   D     G       B7   Em 
On Yonge Street 


verse 2: 
                      Cmaj7           Em 
Longest street in the world they say 
                Cmaj7       Em 
Summertime soon slips away 
                    Cmaj7     
I hope I'll see you one fine day 
   D     G 
On Yonge Street 


D                      Am        C 
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake  
D                              Am            C 
Back there in the flow you may give a hand a shake  
D                          Am             C 
Everyone you pass seems to want to say hello  
D                         Am             C      Em  Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  Em 
Even late at night on the freshly fallen snow   


verse 3: 
                         Cmaj7        Em 
See the children jumping all around  
                        Cmaj7        Em 
See the parents looking up and down  
                    Cmaj7     
Upon the streets of my hometown 
   D     G       B7   Em 
On Yonge Street  


verse 4: 
                   Cmaj7          Em 
It's a mean street if you choose  
                   Cmaj7          Em 
It's a lean street when you lose  
                     Cmaj7     
An in between street when you cruise 
      D     G 
Along Yonge street 


D                      Am        C 
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake  
D                              Am               C 
You'll be sure and find it's a case of give and take  
D                          Am             C 
Everyone you pass seems to want to say hello  
D                           Am               C     Em  Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  Em 
Even late at night when the streets are all aglow 


Verse 5: 
                        Cmaj7         Em 
It's the longest street in the world  
                   Cmaj7         Em 
With the most feet in the world  
                     Cmaj7     
Another street where boy meets girl 
   D     G       B7   Em 
On Yonge street 


Verse 6: 
                       Cmaj7        Em 
See the people walking up and down  
                      Cmaj7        Em 
See the people moving all around  
                         Cmaj7     
Those are the streets of my hometown 
   D     G 
On Yonge Street
