Chords for Lou Reed - Halloween Parade - New York Album

[Gb] [A] There's a downtown fair singing our proud Mary [D] as she cruises Christopher [G] Street
[A] And some southern Queen is acting loud and mean [D] where the docks and the badlands meet
[Bm] This Halloween is something [G] to be sure _
_ [Bm] Especially to be here [G] without you _
[A] There's Greta Garbo and an Alfred [D] Hitchcock in some black Jamaica [G] stud
[A] There's five Cinderella's and some leather [D] drags I almost fell into my mug
[Bm] There's a Crawford Davis and a tacky [G] Cary Grant
And [Bm] some homeboys looking for trouble down [G] here from the Bronx
[A] _
[D] But there ain't no Harry and no Virgin [G] Mary you won't hear those voices again
[D] And Johnny Rio and a rotten Rita [G] you never see those faces again
[Em] This Halloween is something to [C] be sure _ _
_ [Em] Especially to be here [C] without you _
[D] Here's the born-again losers and the lavender [G] boozers and some crack team from Washington Heights
[D] The boys from Avenue B the girls from Avenue [G] D a Jinkerbell and tires [Bm] [Em] this celebration
Somehow [C] gets me down _
[G] _ [Em] Especially when I see you're [C] not around
[D] _
[Em] [G] There's no Peter pedantic saying things [C] romantic that Greek or spic
[G] There's no three bananas or brandy a la [C] tanda dishing all their tricks
[Am] It's a different feeling that I [F] have today _
[Am] _ Especially when I know you've [F] gone away _
[B] [G] There's a girl from Soho with a t-shirt saying I [C] blow she's with the job five [G] two plus three and the girl for paydates
Giving cut [C] rates else doing it for free
[G] [Am] The past keeps knock knock knocking on [F] my door
And [G] [Am] I don't want to hear it [F] anymore
[Am] _ [G]
No [C] consolations, please for feeling funky.
I [F] gotta get my head above my knees
[C] But it makes me mad and it makes me [Em] sad [F] and then I start to freeze
[Dm] In the back of my mind.
I was afraid [F] it might be [Bb] true _
[Dm] In the back of my mind, I was afraid that [Bb] they meant you [C] the [F] _ _ [Am] Halloween [Bb] parade
[C] _ _
[F] _ At the Halloween [Bb] parade
[C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ [F] See you next year
_ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ Oh
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
