E
Walking down the sidewalk one purple afternoon
        F#m7
I was accosted by a barker
F#m7                            E
Playing a simple tune upon his flute
D/A   A         E
Toot toot toot toot

Chorus:
 B
Silver rain was falling down
  A7      A6    Asus4 A   E        A7 A6 Asus4 A E
Upon the dirty ground of London town

A                        Bm7
People pass me by on my imaginary street
Amaj7/C#                F#m7
Ordinary people it's impossible to meet
Bm7                            Esus4         E
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
               A
Well I don't know

F#m7       Gdim7     E/G#      A
Oh, where are there places to go?
F#m7      Gdim7     E/G#   A
Someone, somewhere has to know
D/F# Dmaj7/F# G   E E7
I    don't   know

A                           Bm7
Out of work again,the actor entertains his wife
Amaj7/C#                          F#m7
With the same old stories of his ordinary life
Bm7                        Esus4           E
Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife
                A
Well, I don't know

F#m7       Gdim7     E/G#      A
Oh, where are there places to go?
F#m7      Gdim7     E/G#   A
Someone, somewhere has to know

Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon
I was arrested by a rozzer wearing
a pink balloon about his foot
Toot, toot, toot, toot
Silver rain was falling down upon
the dirty ground of London town

Ooh (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh
Ooh, ooh

Someone, somewhere has to know
Silver rain was falling down upon
the dirty ground of London town
