I walk the lonely streets 
                 Em 
I walk the lonely streets 
                 D                    C 
I walk the lonely streets 
                 Em 
I walk the lonely streets 
                      G 
There was no love, 
 D                       Em 
No, no love to be found 
                      G 
There was no love, 
 D                       Em 
No, no love to be found 
D                 Em  
    Evening comes 
D                Em 
    Sun sinks low 
D               Em 
    Shadows tell 
D 
    That it's time 
     Em 
    To go 
D                Em 
    Mystic smiles 
D                  Em 
    On faces wide 
D              Em 
    Comic styles 
D 
    But their faces 
           Em 
    Don't glow 

                 D                    C

I walk the lonely streets 
                      G 
There was no love,

No, no love to be found 
                      G 
There was no love, 
 D                       Em 
No, no love to be found 
D                        Em 
     Wandering child 
D                     Em 
     Searching for 
D                 Em 
     Directions 
D                               Em 
     That images don't show 
D               Em 
     It's a sin 
D                 Em 
     Beckoning 
D                 Em 
     For the love 
D 
     That they need 
         Em 
     To know 
                   D                    C 
As I walk the lonely streets 
                 Em 
I walk the lonely streets

                     G                         D        Em  
There was no looooooooooooove 
                     G                         D            Em  
There was no looooooooooooove to be found 
                 D                    C

D 
         Lonely streets 
                         C 
        They don't reason with me, 
                       Em 
        They don't talk 
D                                            C  
        They don't reason, they don't talk 
                      Em…. 
        They don't talk 

        They don't talk 

        Oh, no, lonely streets 

        Oh, no, only lonely streets
