(F) Yeah, and always keep your (G)backside to the (C)wind"

(C)No sir, I'm not (F)homeless, my (C)home is in the street

(Spoken)
At (C)first they looked just like another (F)family down on their luck
(C)Searching for shelter in a storm
But it was then I noticed something different (F)
I think more in attitude than in (C)appearance
And though it was rather cold that morning (F)
As I stepped closer to their (C)circle it (G/B)seemed to radiate (Am)warmth (G)
And in this (F)little girls eyes were a (C)light
And as I asked her about being (G)homeless
She proudly raised her head and (C) said it right

(C)No sir, I'm not (F)homeless, my (C)home is in the street
We're not some lonely (F)people down here (C)begging round your feet
Somehow we stay (F)warm and cozy (C)huddled in (G/B) the (Am)wind (G)(F)
(C)No sir, I'm not homeless, (G) we just need a house to put it in
