It's so nice to be sitting outside

With you on my mind

I hitched a ride

In the green park ranger's truck
G# D# C#
He slowed down when he passed me up
D# G# D#
He said, "Central Park, says it might rain"
G# D# C# D#
And I learn another stranger's name
G# C# D# G#
Late in the day, aha, aha
C# D# G# D#
"So, how do you like your job", I said
G# D# C#
He told me once, "It's no good

I lock up the playgrounds, here in the park

I am the bully of New York

The kids all think I'm being mean
D# C#
It's not easy for me"

"Working nights, I'm never home
G# D# C#
My love and I got divorced
D# G# D#
There's a path of light there in the leaves

I am a man down on my knees
D# G# D# C# Cm
Yeah, I am a man down on my knees"
