Am                          C                D
Came in from a rainy Thursday  on the avenue 
Am                                 C D
Thought I heard you talking softly 
Am                           C             D
I turned on the lights the TV and the radio
Am                           C       D
Still I can't escape the ghost of you 
Am
What has happened to it all?
Em
Crazy some'd say 
B                            C
Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away...
G                      Dm7
But I won't cry for yesterday 
                   F                        C
There's an ordinary world. somehow I have to find 
G                      Dm7
And as I try to make my way 
               F                         G
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive

G Dm7 F G

Am                      C                      D
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say 
Am                            C  D
Pride will tear us both apart 
    Am                                        C                  D
Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away 
Am                               C  D
Left me in the vacuum of my heart 
Am 
What is happening to me?
Em
Crazy some'd say 
B                        C
Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away...
G                         Dm7
But I won't cry for yesterday
                   F                        G
There's an ordinary world. somehow I have to find 
G                      Dm7
And as I try to make my way 
               F                         G
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive

G Dm7 F G
G Dm7 F G

Am                             C                  D
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed 
Am                         C D
Here today, forgot tomorrow 
    Am                          C                 D
Ohh...here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Am                                 C D 
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk 
G                           Dm7
But I won't cry for yesterday
                   F                        G
There's an ordinary world. somehow I have to find 
G                      Dm7
And as I try to make my way 
               F                         G
To the ordinary world I will learn to survive

G Dm7 F G
Every world is my world - I will learn to survive 
G Dm7 F G
Any world is my world - I will learn to survive 
G Dm7 F G
Any world is my world

This is a lot easier than the other versions; I would say keep the C on "somehow I have to find" on each chorus, but "learn to survive" can still end on a G.

Also, Dm7 sounds fine on a guitar, but on a soprano uke I find it too bright - Dm works better (IMHO). Still, this is so much easier, and my quibbles are relatively minor.
