And so I got my banjo out, just sitting, catching dust.
GCGCm
And painted right across the case, 'Greenwich Village
or Bust!'
EbCmAbEb
My folks were sad to see me go, but I got no meaning there.

Near Tennessee, I met a guy who played 12-string guitar.
AbDbAbDbmAAbmDbm
He also had a mighty voice, not to mention a car.

Each time he hit those bluegrass chords, you sure smelled

In New Orleans, we saw a gal a-walkin' with no shoes.

And from her throat there comes a growl, she sure was singin'
the blues.

I said, it's for the world to hear, Come to Washington
Dm
Square.

And singing in sweet harm-ony, right in Washington Square.
