(verse)
Well I see the souls of so many friends,
And I see us all back here again.
With sandy floors and ceiling fans,
A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
That fill my memories like a tip jar.
Yeah, that’s what I see, when I see this bar.

(verse)
I see tourists at Christmas time,
And I taste beers with a hint of lime.
I feel lonely cause it’s not the same,
Different faces and different names,
Living like pirates out among the stars.
Yeah, that’s what I see, when I see this bar.

(chorus)
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

(verse)
And I see a kid coming into his own
And a man learning to move on.
Somehow trying to find his way,
A dreamer betting on blind faith
Chasing that sun and following his heart.
Yeah, that’s what I see, when I see this bar.

(chorus)
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

(verse)
A few have moved on back to Maine,
Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.
Some are still living the dream,
Stuck in still life it seems.
No matter where they’ve been, or where they are,
Yeah, I see ‘em here, when I see this bar.
C G C, G C,
when I see this bar.

(verse-out)
I wonder where we go from here
(That’s what I see when I see this bar)
Life ain’t over but it’s always near
(That’s what I see when I see this bar)
I think about all the good times that we had
(That’s what I see when I see this bar)
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
(That’s what I see when I see this bar)
How could we be so close, now so far apart
(That’s what I see when I see this bar)
That’s what I feel, that’s what I see (when I see this bar)
Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
C G C, G C, G C, G C,
That’s what I see when I see this bar
G C G C, G C, G C, G C, G C (fade)
That’s what I see when I see this bar

[D/Dsus2] [C#/Dsus2] [B/Dsus2]
Lindy strolls around

Down main streets

Down side streets

Makin his way through town he picks up pennies

Saves ‘em for a rainy day

With callous feet he makes his way to see the sun sink in the bay

D/Dsus2 C#/Dsus2 B/Dsus2 (use opening riff)
Lindy strolls around and around and around

D/Dsus2 C#/Dsus2 B/Dsus2 (use opening riff)
Around and around and around

He pl[D/D5]ays piano at t[A/D5]he church when no[G/D5]body’s watchin’ [D/D5]

Takes ciga[D/D5]rettes from strangers[A/D5] and sometimes yo[G/D5]u see Him talkin’ to[D/D5]

[Em/D]himself, [Em/D]laughin’ to himself

D/Dsus2 C#/Dsus2 B/Dsus2 (use opening riff)
Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around

Lindy’s seen it all
Storms and hurricanes
Some say he’s insane
No one knows his last name
But I believe
He’s the salt of the Earth
Just look past his dirty shirt and you will see just what he’s worth

Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around
He plays piano at the church when nobody’s watchin’
Takes cigarettes from strangers and sometimes you see
him talkin’ to himself, laughin’ to himself
Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around

Ooooh (2x)

He plays piano at the church when nobody’s watchin’
Takes cigarettes from strangers and sometimes you see
Him talkin’ to himself, laughin’ to himself
Lindy strolls around and around and around
Around and around and around

Lindy strolls around and around and around

Ooooh (2x)
