This is the Acoustic Demo version of the song from the "Muswell Hillbillies" sessions in
1971 which did not make
it onto the final cut of the album, but is available as a B side.
A G D A Dm F/A Bb
F C G
Dm
From the bright busy streets of the Charing Cross Road
C F
To the dark little alleys in old Soho
Dm
From the smart noisy clubs where everyone goes
C F
To the dark little streets that nobody knows
Asus4 A7 Dm Bb
Nobody notices, nobody misses me
F C G
Nobody knows if I really exist
Asus4 A7 Dm Bb
I'm a-nobody's shelter, I'm a-nobody's cover
F C G
I'm a-nobody's lover and nobody's friend
A G D A A G D A
A7 Dm Bb
So used to lying, and pretending
F C G
I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend
Dm
I can go for a walk on a crowded street
C F
and see millions of faces staring at me
Dm
Some of them smiling, some of them blind
C F
But most of them don't even know that I'm there
Asus4 A7 Dm Bb
That's how I want to be 'cause no one belongs to me
F C G
I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend
Asus4 A7 Dm Bb
Nobody grieves for me and nobody bleeds for me
F C G
I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend
A G D A A G D A
A7 Dm Bb
So used to lying, and pretending
F C G
I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend
