The Crowd 
G                  Dmin 
Lord unchain my hands 
G                                Dmin 
let me sing inside the crowded trams 
G                               Dmin 
let me dance among the traffic jams 
G 
we're going to sleep 
                 Dmin 
on the St Kilda sands 
 
G                 Dmin 
Lord unbind my feet 
        G 
let me mingle with the good people 
     Dmin 
we meet 
   G                        Dmin 
water rising up into the street 
G           Dmin 
unbind my feet 
 
G 
?The apparition of these faces in 
 
the crowd; 
Dmin 
petals on a wet black bough" 
G 
Ezra Pound found the formula 
 
our houses are rectangular 
     Dmin 
but life is curved not angular 
 
so when things start to strangular 
 
remember 
G 
rain still falls on the halls of power 
Dmin 
new babies being born every hour 
         G 
and the eagle keeps watch on the old clock tower 
       Dmin~ 
over me... 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
         G 
On the train I refrain from sitting with head and shoulders bowed 
               Dmin 
they told me time is of the essence 
 
no wandering allowed 
             G 
but then I saw a pretty girl 
 
whose features stood out in the crowd 
      Dmin 
went ten minutes past my stop waiting for her to look around 
     G 
I'm just another clown kicking around in Melbourne town 
     Dmin 
cooling out, relaxing watching the 
 
world go round 
          G 
so if you ever have the time 
 
and you want to go drink some wine 
             Dmin 
I'd rather greet you with a smile 
 
than greet you with a frown... 
 
G                Dmin 
Lord unchain my hands 
   G                            Dmin 
let me sing inside the crowded trams 
        G                         Dmin 
let me dance among the traffic jams 
                  G 
we're going to sleep 
                   Dmin 
on the St Kilda sands 
 
G                Dmin 
Lord unbind my feet 
         G 
let me mingle with the good people 
  Dmin 
we meet 
G                           Dmin 
water rising up into the street 
G  Dmin 
unbind my feet
