The song is in G and the hypnotic bass line runs through the whole song.
I suggest to put on a capo (3rd fret) and play E.

(intro:)

The night seems to fade,
But the moonlight lingers on

(Nothing)
Lonely, Lonely,
Tin can at my feet.
Think I’ll kick it down the street,
That’s the way to treat a friend

Broken windows and empty hall ways
Pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it’s going to rain today

(The Same as Above)
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it’s going to rain today.

Tabbed By Duke Smith-Holley

(Instrumental) F Bb F

Right before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it’s going to rain today.
