FF Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
So say one and so say all
FF Eb7Eb7
Say what you gotta say Or don't say nothing at all
Abmaj7Abmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
You've been tossin' and turnin' through soft sticky nights
BbM7Bbm7 C majorC C7C7 FF C majorC
While the Bronx below you fights to stay alive
FF Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
So say one and so say all
FF Eb7Eb7
Be what you gotta be Or don't be nothing at all
Abmaj7Abmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
Be gracious to your mother When you leave this neighbourhood
(The change is going to do her good)
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
Next to me you look bad
Bb9/D Eb MajorEb Fm7Fm7 F#F# DbDb BB Db7Db7
'Cos there ain't no fresh air for my mama, my mama
Cm7Cm7 D MajorD
But the drop is shear When you break away
C majorC
Take me away
D7D7
It's just about time to hit the road
Bb majorBb A minorAm Am/GAm/G C majorC
And say You gotta believe in something
C majorC
It's easy to see
D7D7
My God is fading away
Bb majorBb A minorAm Am/GAm/G C majorC
So pick up your bible and pray for me
FF
We're all alone in the darkness
F#dimF#dim
But our eyes are wide open
G+G
We don't see nothing
Bb majorBb
And our hands are tied
DmDm C majorC
To the railings of the Bowery
Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7
And the humid city slickers
FF Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
So say one and so say all
FF Eb7Eb7
We had a lot to say And we said it all
Abmaj7Abmaj7 Dbmaj7Dbmaj7
The cost of livin' in dreams Is rising like a crime wave
(The American way of dying - The American way of dying)
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
And it gets you every time
Bb9/D Eb MajorEb Fm7Fm7
And it looks like it's got to my mama My mama
F#F# AbAb C majorC G+G FF G7G7 C majorC
May she rest....in....peace
