Hey, [E] O'Male, the [B] famous red-tailed hawk performs wing [Abm] stands high above [E] midtown Manhattan,
[B] suckles around for one last pass [Abm] over the park.
[E] Got his eye [B] on a fat squirrel down there and a couple of [Abm] pigeons.
They got no [E] place to [B] run, no place to hide.
_ [Abm]
Hey, O'Male, [E] he's cool, [B] see, cause his breakfast ain't going nowhere, [Abm] so he does a loop-de-loop
for [E] the tourists [B] on the six o'clock news.
_ [Abm]
Got him a penthouse view from [B] the tip-top of the food chain, boys.
[Abm] He looks up and [E] down Fifth Avenue [B] and says, God, [Gb] I love this [B] town.
[Abm] The life goes _ [Gb] [B] on down _ [Abm] here [Gb] below.
[B] _ _
_ And all [Abm] this [Gb] mortal struggle, [B]
so [Abm] we'll _ _ [Gb] laugh [B] and cry _ _ _ [Gb] and live [B] and die.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] [Abm] I saw Joe [E] Mitchell's ghost on [B] a downtown A-train.
[Abm] He just rides on [E] forever now [B] that the Fulton Fish Market's shut down.
[Abm] He said, [E] they ain't never gonna get [B] that smell out of the water.
I [Abm] don't give a damn [E] how much of that new [B] money they're buying.
_ _ [Abm]
Now, Hell's [E] Kitchen's Clinton [B] and the Bowery's no leader, [Abm] and the East [E] Village is creeping
[B] across the Williamsburg Bridge.
[Abm]
Hey, [E] whatever happened [B] to Alphabet City?
[Abm] Ain't no [E] place left in this [B] town that a poor boy can go. _
[Abm] The life goes [Gb] on [B] _ _

Fatal mail's swimming in the air. _ _ _
Looks like he's in heaven up there. _ _
People suffering everywhere. _ _
And he don't care.
The life goes on [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] down [B] here below.
