[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] I saw [A] the [Bm] [G]
Empire State [A] lay low, [G] [F#m] and life went on [Bm] beyond the palisades.
They all [D] bought Cadillacs [A]
and left [G] their long coat.
[A] [D] They [G] held a concert out [D] in Brooklyn [A] to [B] [G] watch the island bridges [A] blow.
[G] [D] They turned [G] our core down, [D] and [B] drove us underground, [A] for we [B] weighed light on [D] the soul.
[A] [D]
[A] [Bm] Oh, oh, [A] oh,
[D] [G] seeing the lights go out [D] on Broadway,
[Bm] [G] I saw the ruins [A] at my feet.
[F#] You know we [B] almost didn't notice it.
[A] We'd see it all the time [G] on 42nd Street.
[D] [G] They burned the churches [D] up in Harlem,
[Bm] [G] like in that Spanish [A] Civil War.
[F#m] The flames [G] were everywhere, [D] but no [B] one really [A] cared.
They [B] always burned up their [D] [Bm] home.
Oh, [A] [D] [Bm] oh, oh, [A] seeing [D] [G] the lights go out [D] on Broadway, [Bm] I watched [G] the mighty [A] skyline fall.
[F#] The boats were waiting [B] at the baton.
The [A] Union went on strike.
They never [G] sailed at all.
[A] [D] They [G] sent their carrier out [D] the North Pole, [Bm] and [G] picked the Yankees up [A] free.
[F#m] They [G] said if we could stay, [A] [D] they [B] blew the fronts [A] away, and [Bm] sank Manhattan [D] out at sea.

[D] [A] [D]
You know [G] those nights were right [D] on Broadway.
[Bm] [G] That was so many [A] years ago,
[G] [F#m] before we all [Bm] lived here in Florida.
Before [A] the Mafia took [G] over Mexico.
[A] [D] There [G] are not many who [D] remember.
[F#m] [Bm] [G] They say a handful still [A] survive.
[A] [F#m] And [G] tell the world about [D]
the [G] way the lights went [A] out, [Bm] and keep the [A#] memory alive.
