Verse 3:
F                                   Bb           C
 A man walks down the street, its a  street in a  strange world,
F                           Bb             C
 maybe its the Third World,  maybe its his  first time around,
F                              Bb        C
 doesnt speak the language, he  holds no  currency,
F                     Bb     C
 he is a foreign man,  he is  surrounded by
F                      Bb             C
 the sound, the sound,  cattle in the  marketplace,
F                          
 scatterlings and orphanages (Bb) (C)
         F                        Bb             C
he looks  around, around, he sees  angels in the  architecture,
F                              Bb   C
 spinning in infinity, he says  Hey  Hallelujah!

[Chorus]

F             Bb     C          F             Bb     C
 Na na na na,  na na  na na na,  Na na na na,  na na  na na na na
