I just love this song so much that I had to figure it out and share it with the rest of you. I know it’s not 100% correct but it sure sounds sweet when played nice and slow on an acoustic guitar. Intro: Vs1: A D A Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while D A With no purpose or direction to his life D E He tried to get himself together And pacify his mind A E A And forget about the things he left behind. Ch1: E A A cryin’ woman he left standing in his door F#m E A With a two month old baby in her arms E A His little black book he left torn upon the floor God only knows he never meant to do her wrong. Vs2: A careless weekend on the other side of town Has torn the king of Oak Street’s Castle down And all week long he’s tried to phone her But she won’t let him explain Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain. Ch2: He sits now in a phone booth and he prays That she’ll forgive him And she’ll believe he’s changed his ways With shaking hands he deposits his last dime And he’s still praying that she won’t hang up this time. Vs3: Then the sweetest voice he’s ever heard says “hello” Breakfast’s almost ready baby come on home I’ve thought the whole thing over And I think I understand That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man. D E I’ve thought the whole thing over A D And I think I understand That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man. There it is. Any corrections/comments are always welcome. Enjoy. ~BigDezDez

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui, comme une feuille emportée par le vent, erre sans but, hanté par son passé. Il a laissé derrière lui une femme en détresse et un enfant, tout en essayant de trouver une certaine paix intérieure. Après un week-end imprévu qui a ruiné sa vie, il tente désespérément de la joindre, espérant qu'elle comprendra ses regrets et qu'elle lui pardonnera. Dans un moment de vulnérabilité, il se retrouve dans une cabine téléphonique, priant pour qu'elle ne raccroche pas alors qu'il tente de lui expliquer sa situation. Finalement, il reçoit une réponse touchante, réalisant qu'elle a pris le temps de réfléchir et qu'elle est prête à lui donner une seconde chance. Cette rencontre symbolise l'humanité de cet homme, qui, malgré ses erreurs, a su ouvrir son cœur et espérer une réconciliation.
