    Left me here in this old world to cry all to myself

    A girl who longs for wealth and fame, for love and sympathy
      C                    C / Am   F             C
    I don't know where she lives maybe across the sea
            C  /  Am     Am        D   /    G         C     C
    But the walls of Jericho can't keep her away from me
