Something must have happened over Manhattan

Who can expound all the children this time

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

Verse 2:
A                         G
And when those plans they don't mix your style
F#
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
Bm                    D
That's when he starts calling you, wow
A                                E
Bud, you just don't know what to do
A                      G
So now you come around here
F#
And you're trying to take over the town
Bm                   D
Just because of back home, baby
A               E
Oh, he puts you down
G   F#
Oh, baby,
Bm              D
How he puts you down
A           E
I know they put you down


Chorus:
A                                  E
So now, you're off starting 'round here
A                 E
Here you ask and demand
A                                  E
In a place where they don't expect nothing
A                               E
You're trying not to dirty your hands
G                    F#
When asking you as a person
Bm      D      A       E
Is it a crime, is it a crime
A           G          F#
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Bm           D
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
A                     E
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
A                            G
Cause you're trying to be so selective
F#
You never realise the whole time
Bm                   D
Who's the one you're loving
A                    E
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
G                    F#
And down, down, down, just go just down
Bm            D     A            E
Like Frankenstein, like Frankenstein


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

Could you ever, could you ever

And house jacket's too small
A                  E             A         E
How you don't know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
