              Intro: 
 
F C G Am 2x 
 
 
F                       C 
I got my start on the street 
                        G 
With the monkey next to me he'll 
               Am 
Shake your hand for a dollar, 
 
If you're nice kiss your cheek 
F           C 
To my left I can see 
                  G                               Am 
Chinese flipping bowls on their heads from their feet 
NC 
Yo 
F                  
Strolling on the scene 
C 
Are my arch-enemies 
     G                             Am 
Break-dancers take your crowd, your girl, your money 
F                      C 
Balloon man's telling me to turn down please 
          G            Am 
And the psychic agrees 
 
I begin to see that 
F    C             G             Am 
Oh I'm home, I'm right where I belong 
F                          C                 G 
And there's no where else that I'd rather be 
 
                 C          F 
Because those moments on the street 
           Am            G 
When the crowd would rock with me 
                  C                F                 Am     G 
I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles 
        C            F 
You see all I really need 
          Am         G 
Are some ears to hear me dream 
                  C                F                 Am     G 
I feel like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles 
                   F  C      G Am 
Standing on the street, yeah 
                       F   C    G   Am 
Just standing on the street 
 
 
F        C                                  G 
Trombone cuts deep through the crowd doing Motown moves 
Am 
With his hat tucked down 
   F               C 
A belly dancer passes the tip jar around 
        G               Am 
And the men are confused, slightly aroused 
F                  C               
Muslims, Christians preaching, wishing 
G                Am 
I would shut up so the people could listen 
F                C 
Supposed to cut through all this noise 
     G              Am 
With my little voice, I begin to see that 
 
F  C               G          Am 
Oh I'm home, I'm right where I belong 
            F            C                   G 
And there's no where else that I'd rather be 
 
               C               F 
Because those moments on the street 
           Am            G 
When the crowd would rock with me 
                 C                F                  Am     G 
I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles 
         C            F 
You see all I really need 
          Am            G 
Are some ears to hear me dream 
                  C                F                 Am     G 
I feel like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles 
                 F    C       G    Am 
Standing on the street, yeah 
                      F    C     G      Am   
Just standing on the street 
 
F                    Am 
And the day goes dark 
              F 
I pack my car 
                  Am     F 
Stare out at the ocean 
            Am 
Take some time 
          F 
A quiet smile 
                   G 
Let it all just soak in 
 
NC 
Cause those moments on the street 
 
When the crowd would rock with me 
 
I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles 
 
You see all I really need 
 
For my life to feel complete 
        C    F                      Am            G 
Are some ears to hear me dream, some ears to hear me dream 
 
             C           F 
Yes, Those moments on the street 
           Am            G 
When the crowd would rock with me 
                 C                 F                 Am    G 
I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles 
C           F 
All I really need 
        Am              G 
Are some ears to hear me dream 
                C                 F                Am      G 
I feel like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles 
                 F   C   G   Am 
Standing on the street 
                       F     C   G   Am 
Just standing on the street 
                       F     C   G   Am 
Just standing on the street 
                       F     C   G   Am
