  			G          C          G                   C 
In my time I have been a rich man given favours 
 
G            C          G                          C        G 
All the world at my feet and it's many different flavours 
 
         Em        G      C   D 
I sucked it all dry now I realise

I'm a beggar on the street of love

All the rest have no charm 
 
                          C 
There's nothing they can give me 
 
G          C                G 
What I want makes me poor 
 
                            C        G 
In this great big world of plenty 
 
      Em              G             C       D 
I'm holding out my cup only you can fill it up

I'm a beggar on the street of love

       On my own I'm standing so patiently 
 
             G              Am 
And my heart keeps calling 
 
                 F       D     G 
Calling out for you to see 
 
                                  C            D     G 
You look right through me and you pass me by

You look right through me and you pass me by

                                  C            D     G 
You look right through me and you pass me by 
 
                                  C            D

Take my hand, lead me to 
Your loving milk and honey 
Cover me, keep me from 
The night so cold and rainy 
Please, I'm down on my knees 
I'm a beggar on the street of love.
