VERSE 1
********
There's a crowd outside peering through his window
                                            B7
And he strains to hear the words the people say
There's a crowd outside peering through his window
                                       Em
And he wishes that the crowd would go away

VERSE 2
********
He was happy, he was working one fine morning
                                     B7
Then a friend waving a paper ran his way
Now there's a crowd outside peering through his window
                                       Em
And he wishes that the crowd would go away

VERSE 3
********
       G                             D
He was just a Joe, a John, a Phil, a Michael
   Am                        G
An ordinary man with feet of clay
                                   D
Now every move he makes the camera follows
    Am                         B7
And all he's ever done is on display

VERSE 4
********
     Em
He'd never hurt a soul, he'd never argued
                                      B7
He'd never dreamed his life could go astray
Now there's a crowd outside peering through his window
                                       Em
And he wishes that the crowd would go away
Em   B7   Em

VERSE 5
********
G                                         D
Friends he trusted once have turned their faces
Am                            G
Now he sits alone there every day
                                      D
Ex-lovers have been paid for their confessions
    Am                           B7
For photographs and lies and hearsay

VERSE 6
********
   Em
He reads and reads and reads again the letters
                                       B7
From strangers saying god comes if you pray
But there's a crowd outside peering through his window
                                       Em
And he wishes that the crowd would go away

VERSE 7
********
The phone rings in the hall he does not answer
                                          B7
They're beating on his door, he stands at bay
There's a crowd outside, a stone comes through the window
                                      Em
Now he knows the crowd will never go away
