E C#m I sold my piano Bm A It couldn’t come with me E I locked up my bedroom D A and I walked out into the air E C#m When nothing I needed Bm A is left there behind me E D I walk out through the shadows A E Of Washington Square I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley And I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen But I loved like a fountain And it left me with nothing Just memories of walking through Washington Square Now I live in the shadows where light is electric And time is a number that rests on a wall And nobody knows me My friends and my family Are as far from this city as Washington Square So cover this warm night in a blanket of starlight And I’ll follow this freeway out into the air In case you should wander and wanted to find me I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  D  E  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
