[Verse]
[E5] Early morning Manhattan
[E5] Ocean winds blow on the land
[G#m] The Movie-Palace is now undone
The [A5]all-night watchmen have had their fun
[G#m]Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show
It's the [A5]same old ending-time to go
| E | Edim |
Get out!
It [Eb]seems they cannot leave their dream
There's [Ebm7]something moving in the sidewalk steam
Bb Bsus4 | E5 | % |
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
[Verse]
[E5] Nightime's flyers feel their pains
[E5] Drugstore takes down the chains
[G#m]Metal motion comes in bursts
But the [A5]gas station can quench that thirst
[G#m] Suspension cracked on unmade road
The [A5]trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
[E] And out on the [Edim]subway
[Eb]Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
[Ebm7]Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
And the [Bb]lamb lies [Bsus4]down on [Emaj7]Broadway
[Middle 8]
[Emaj7] The [Amaj7]lamb seems right out of place
The [Emaj7]Broadway street scene finds a [Amaj7]focus in its face
[F#m6] Somehow it's lying there
Brings a [C#]stillness to the air
Though [C#m]man [D/C#]- made [C#m]ligh[D/C#]t
At [C#m]night is [D/C#]very [C#m]bright[D/C#]
There's [Dmaj]no [D6]whitewash [Dmaj7]victim[D6]
Amaj7 | E | Edim |
As the neons dim, to the coat of white
[Eb]Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
[Ebm7]Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did
Bb Bsus4 | E5 | % |
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
[Verse]
[E5]Suzanne tired her work all done
Thinks[E5] money-honey-be on-neon
[G#m]Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the [A]sawdust king spits out his scorn
[G#m]Wonder women draw your blind!
[A]Don't look at me! I'm not your kind
| E | Edim |
I'm Rael!
[Eb]Something inside me has just begun
[Ebm7]Lord knows what I have done
Bb Bsus4 | E5 | % |
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
[Coda]
(On[E5] Broadway)
[E5] They say the lights are always bright on [E5]Broadway
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)
[E5] They say there's always magic in the [E5]air
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)
[E5] They say the lights are always bright on [E5]Broadway
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)
[E5] They say there's always magic in the [E5]air
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)
(repeat and fade)
