"Geez", he said the bands don't seem to play round here no more
Am C
And Saturday night just aint the same
Am C C G G
Wish everything was back the way it used to be be-fore

The face I used to hide behind is now becoming ghostly with the years

VERSE-SHORT:
G G Am C G G
Shifting round I wear the dust of many foreign streets

Now this same wind is howling like a cyclone here in-side
Em Em C C
And I see I've got nothing left to hide

Nobody's gonna take the stage tonight
Am7 Em9 Am7 Am7
So I sit here anyway and sigh good
CHORUS:

bye Tiger good-bye Tiger good-bye
