Something must have happened over Manhattan

Who can expound all the children this time

I remember when you were jammin'
F#F#
You worked at 'em and any of them
B minorBm       D MajorD    A augmentedA       E MajorE
There was never nothing you would ever understand
G+G        F#F#
But you know who was there to be your master
B minorBm           D MajorD
Making his demands and plans
A augmentedA             E MajorE
As though he's making his friends

And when those plans they don't mix your style
F#F#
You get a feeling of your own ordeal

So now, you're off starting 'round here
A augmentedA         E MajorE

A augmentedA                 E MajorE
In a place where they don't expect nothing
A augmentedA                E MajorE
You're trying not to dirty your hands
G+G          F#F#
When asking you as a person
B minorBm   D MajorD   A augmentedA    E MajorE
Is it a crime, is it a crime

For you to fall in love with Frankenstein

Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
A augmentedA              G+G
Cause you're trying to be so selective

You never realise the whole time
B minorBm          D MajorD
Who's the one you're loving
A augmentedA          E MajorE
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein

And down, down, down, just go just down
B minorBm      D MajorD   A augmentedA      E MajorE
Like Frankenstein, like Frankenstein

A augmentedA           E MajorE
So now you're telling me
A augmentedA                E MajorE
What every time you can get down home
A augmentedA                      E MajorE
Well don't you know there's place, it is my home
A augmentedA          E MajorE
So where am I gonna go
G+G                F#F#
You know, when you don't expect nothing
B minorBm            D MajorD   A augmentedA          E MajorE
You know, when you're not alone, you know you're not alone
A augmentedA             G+G    F#F#
Cause something must have happened over Manhattan
