Down City Streets

[A]Down city streets I would [G]roam, [D]I had no bed I had no [A]home.
There was nothing that I [D]owned, [G]used my [D]fingers as a [A]comb.
[A]Crawled out of the bushes [D]early morn.
[G]Used news[D]papers to [A]keep me warm, then I'd have to score a [D]drink.
[G]Calm my [D]nerves, help [A]me to think.

[A]Down city streets I would [G]roam, [D]I had no bed I had no [A]home.
There was nothing that I [D]owned, [G]used my [D]fingers as a [A]comb.
In those days when I was [D]young, [G]drinking and [D]fighting [A]was no fun.
It was daily living for [D]me, [G]I had [D]no choice. It was [A]meant to be.

[A]Down city streets I would [G]roam, [D]I had no bed I had no [A]home.
And there was nothing that I [G]owned, [D]used my fingers as a [A]comb.

INSRUMENTAL

[A]Now I'm a wo/man, I'm not a[D]lone. [G]I am [D]married, I have [A]children of my own.
Now I have something I call my [D]own, [G]these are my [D]children, this [A]is my home.
I look around and under[D]stand, [G]how street kids [D]feel when [A]they're put down.

[A]Down city streets I would [G]roam, [D]I had no bed I had no [A]home.
And there was nothing that I [D]owned, [G]used my [D]fingers as a [A]comb.
And there was nothing that I [G]owned, [D]used my fingers as a [A]comb.[G]
[G]Down city [A]streets. [G]Down city [A]streets. [G]Down city [A]streets.

I believe Ruby Hunter wrote this song. RIP, Beautiful Lady.
