Biography:
Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. In his early years, Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit, 1978's "Baker Street", discusses busking at a tube station and being a part of the street life. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in an obscure outfit known as The Humblebums, he released his first solo album, called 'Can I Have My Money Back', in 1971.

[Verse 1]
A
Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Em7
Well another crazy day
G
You'll drink the night away
D
And forget about everything
[Verse 2]
A
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
Em7
And it's taken you so long
G
To find out you were wrong
D
When you thought it held everything
[ Chorus ]
Dm7 Am
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm7 Am
You used to say that it was so easy
C
But you're tryin'

You're tryin' now

Just one more year and then you'll be happy

[Verse 3]
A
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door he's got that look on his face
Em7
And he asks you where you've been
G
You tell him who you've seen
D D
And you talk about anything
[ Verse 4 ]
A
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Em7 G
And then he'll settle down in some quiet little town
D
And forget about everything
Dm7 Am
But you know he'll always keep movin'
Dm7 Am
You know he's never gonna stop movin
C
Cause he's rollin' ^ ^^
G D C/D D
He's the rollin' stone
Dm7 Am
And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
Dm7 Am
The sun is shinin' it's a new mornin'

G/B A F/G
You're goin' on.
