[INTRO:] Em  Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  Em

[VERSE 1:]
                       Cmaj7        Em
See the people walking up and down
                      Cmaj7       Em
See the people moving all around
                  Cmaj7    
On the streets of my hometown
   D     G       B7   Em
On Yonge Street


[VERSE 2:]
                      Cmaj7           Em
Longest street in the world they say
                Cmaj7       Em
Summertime soon slips away
                    Cmaj7    
I hope I'll see you one fine day
   D     G
On Yonge Street


[CHORUS:]
D                      Am        C
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake 
D                              Am            C
Back there in the flow you may give a hand a shake 
D                          Am             C
Everyone you pass seems to want to say hello 
D                         Am             C      Em  Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  Em
Even late at night on the freshly fallen snow  


[VERSE 3:]
                         Cmaj7        Em
See the children jumping all around 
                        Cmaj7        Em
See the parents looking up and down 
                    Cmaj7    
Upon the streets of my hometown
   D     G       B7   Em
On Yonge Street 


[VERSE 4:]
                   Cmaj7          Em
It's a mean street if you choose 
                   Cmaj7          Em
It's a lean street when you lose 
                     Cmaj7    
An in between street when you cruise
      D     G
Along Yonge street


[CHORUS:]
D                      Am        C
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake 
D                              Am               C
You'll be sure and find it's a case of give and take 
D                          Am             C
Everyone you pass seems to want to say hello 
D                           Am               C     Em  Cmaj7  Em  Cmaj7  Em
Even late at night when the streets are all aglow


[VERSE 5:]
                        Cmaj7         Em
It's the longest street in the world 
                   Cmaj7         Em
With the most feet in the world 
                     Cmaj7    
Another street where boy meets girl
   D     G       B7   Em
On Yonge street


[VERSE 6:]
                       Cmaj7        Em
See the people walking up and down 
                      Cmaj7        Em
See the people moving all around 
                         Cmaj7    
Those are the streets of my hometown
   D     G
On Yonge Street
