[Db] And all that rat [Eb] race noise
[Ab] Down in the streets
_ _ [Eb] They say the neon lights are bright [Cm] On Broadway On Broadway
_ [F] They say there's [Eb] always
In [C] the air
On Broadway _

[D] _ And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired [G] feet were by your pool
Under [C] your walls
Down by [G] the sea
_ On a blanket from [D] my baby
That's where [G] I'll be _ _ _
