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.

Well an- other crazy day, you drink the night away

And for- get about e- very- thing
A Asus4 A Asus4
This city desert makes you feel so cold, it's got
A Asus4 A Asus4
So many people but it's got no soul

And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong

When you thought it held e- very- thing

A Asus2 A Asus2
Way down the street there's a light in his place
A Asus2 A Asus2
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
Em G
And he asks you where youv'e been, you tell him who you've seen
D Dsus4 D
And you talk about a- ny- thing
A Asus2 A Asus2
He's got this dream a- bout buyin' some land
A Asus2 A Asus2
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
Em G
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
D Dsus4 D
And for- get about e- very- thing
[Chorus 2]
Dm7 Am Asus2 Am
But you know he'll always keep mo- ving
Dm7 Am Asus2 Am
You know he's never gonna stop mo- ving
C G D
Cause he's rollin', He's the rolling stone
Dm7 Am Asus2 Am
And when you wake up it's a new mor- ning
Dm7 Am Asus2 Am
The sun is shining it's a new mor- ning
C G A F
And you're going, you're going home
