Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
          G          D7          G
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
          G   (NOTE G    B  D)     C       (NOTE C  B  A)   
There he sits all alone    on the sidewalk
 A                             D7
Hoping that you won’t pass him by


             G            D7           G
Should you stop?, better not, much too busy
             G         D7            G
You’re in a hurry, my how time does fly

In the distance the ringing   of   laughter
            G            D7           G
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
