The King Of Oak Street Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

A

Vs1

Like a Aleaf caught in the Dwind he drifted a Awhile

With no purpose or diDrection to his Alife

He tried to Dget himself toEgether

A And pacify his Dmind

And forAget about the Ethings he left beAhind.

Ch1:

A cryin' wEoman he left standing in his Adoor

With a F♯mtwo month old Ebaby in her Aarms

His little black Ebook he left torn upon the Afloor

God only F♯mknows he never Dmeant to do her Ewrong.

Vs2

A careless weekend on the other side of town

Has torn the king of Oak Street's Castle down

And all week long he's tried to phone her

But she won't let him explain

Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain.

Ch2:

He sits now in a phone booth and he prays

That she'll forgive him

And she'll believe he's changed his ways

With shaking hands he deposits his last dime

And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time.

Vs3

Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says “hello”

Breakfast's almost ready baby, come on home

I've thought the whole thing over

And I think I understand

That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man.

I've Dthought the whole thing Eover

A And I think I underDstand

That the Aking of Oak Street is just an Eordinary Aman.
