Hi everyone.
As a New Yorker, I'm asking all of you at home to please help however you can.
The entire tri-state area has been hit pretty hard, but tonight everyone's coming out to help, including one of my heroes.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a music icon, the one and only, Billy Joe!
[G#m]
[F#m] [C#] [G#m]
[F#] [F#m] [Fm] [F#]
[C#] [A#m] [G#] [F#]
[C#] Seen the lights go out on Broadway
[A#m] I saw [F#] the Empire State [G#] little old
[Fm] Storm went on beyond [A#m] the Palisades
[G#] Out in the Rockaways
The [F#] oceans overflow
[C#] We [F#] held a concert [C#] out in Brooklyn
To [A#m] [F#] watch the island [G#] bridges blow
[Fm] They [F#] shut off [G#] [A#m] the Staten Island [G#] Drown
But we went right [F#] on in
[C#] I
[A#] [A#m] [G#]
[C#] seen the lights go out on Broadway
[A#m] I saw [F#] the ruins at [G#] my feet
You [Fm]
know we [A#m] almost didn't exist
[G#] You see it all the time
[F#] On 42nd Street
[C#]
They [F#] burned the churches [C#] up in Harlem
Like [A#m]
in [F#] that Spanish Civil [G#] War
[C#]
The [F#] flames were everywhere
[G#] But no one [F#] really cared
[A#m] It always burned up there [C#] before
[G#] [C#] [G#]
I [C#] seen the lights go out on Broadway
I [A#m] watched [F#] the mighty [G#] skyline fall
[Fm] The boats were waiting [A#m] at the bottom
The [G#] union went awesome
They [F#] never sailed at all
[G#] [C#] They sank the carrier out of the front door and fought
[A#m] And [F#] picked the Yankees [G#] up free
[C#] They [F#] said the Queens could [G#] stay
They [A#] blew the fronts [C] away
And [A#m] sank Manhattan [C#] out at sea
[A#m]
[G#] [C#]
[G#] [C#] [F#] Those lights were bright [C#] on Broadway
But [A#m] [F#] that was so many [G#] years ago
Before [Fm] we all moved [A#m] down to Florida
Before [G#] the Mafia took [F#] over Mexico
[G#] There [C#] are not many who remember
[G#] They [F#] say a handful still [G#] survive
They [C#]
[F#] tell the world about
[G#] The [F#] way the light [Cm] swells
To [F#] keep the memory [A] alive
[F#m]
[C#] [G#m] [F#] [B]
