Billy Joel - Big Man On Mulberry Street: chords

G7        A#maj7 C/F
Why can't I lay low?
G7        A#maj7       C/F
Why can't I say what I mean?
G7         A#maj7 C/F
Why don't I stay home?
G7             A#maj7     C/F      Em7
And get myself into some boring routine
Em7          A    Bm7
Why can't I calm down?
Em7       A        Bm7
Why is it always a fight?
Em7         A  Bm7
I can't get unwound
Em7        Am         Cmaj7/D   G7
Why do I throw myself into the night?

I'm on the outside
I don't fit into a groove
Now, I ain't a bad guy
So tell me what am I trying to prove?
Why can't I cool out?
Why don't I button my lip?
Why do I lash out?
Why is it I always shoot from the hip?

Dm7                       A+/C#
I cruise from Houston to canal street
   Dm7/C            Bm7-5
A misfit and a rebel
Dm7                            A+/C#
I see the winos talking to themselves
      Dm7/C          Bdim E7
And I can understand
Am7                        Am/G#
Why is it every time I go out
                         Am7/G D9/F#
I always seem to get in trouble
Am7                              Am/D
I guess I made an impression on somebody
                               G7
North of Hester and South of Grand

And so in my small way
I'm a big man on Mulberry Street
I don't mean always
Only at night when I'm light on my feet
What else have I got
That I'd be trying to hide?
Maybe a blind spot
I haven't seen from the sensitive side?

But you know in my own heart
I'm a big man on Mulberry Street
I've play the whole part
I'll leave a big tip with every receipt
I'm so romantic
I'm such a passionate man
Sometimes I panic
What if nobody finds out who I am?
