And the lamb lies down on Broadway

[Verse]
E
Early morning Manhattan
E
Ocean winds blow on the land
G#m
Movie-Palace is now undone
        A
The all-night watchmen have had their fun
G#m
Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show
            A
It's the same old ending - time to go
        E
Get out!
      D#
It seems they cannot leave their dream
               D#m
There's something moving in the sidewalk steam
               A#           B                 E  
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

[Verse]
E
Nightime's flyers feel their pains
E
Drugstore taking down the chains
          G#m
Metal motion comes in bursts
             A
But the gas station can quench that thirst
      G#m
Suspension cracked on unmade road
        A
The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
E
And out of the subway
D#
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
D#m
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
               A#           B            E
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

[Middle 8]
E         A
The lamb seems right out of place
        E                                             A 
The Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face
F#m
Somehow its lying there
              C#
Brings a stillness to the air
             C#m  D         C#m D
Though man - made light
     C#m     D      C#m D
At night is very bright
             D
There's no whitewash victim
             A                                      E 
As the neons dim to the coat of white
D#
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
D#m
Wipes his gun, he's forgotten what he did
              A#             B              E
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

[Verse]
E
Suzanne tired, her work all done
             E
Thinks money-honey be-on neon
G#m
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
               A
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn
G#m
Wonder women, you can draw your blind!
A
Don't look at me, I'm not your kind
        E 
I'm Rael!
D#
Something inside me has just begun
D#m
Lord knows what I have done
              A#             B             E 
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

[Coda]

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)
E
They say there's always magic in the air
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)
E
They say there's always magic in the air
