    DmDm A minorAm DmDm G+G FF

C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF G+G 4x


   C majorC      E minor 7Em7   FF G+G C majorC      E minor 7Em7 FF
The rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night
 G+G   C majorC          E minor 7Em7   FF G+G  C majorC        E minor 7Em7   FF G+G
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine over the Jersey state line
 C majorC              E minor 7Em7    FF
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
     G+G     C majorC       E minor 7Em7
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
     DmDm       A minorAm       DmDm
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
        A minorAm   DmDm      A minorAm      DmDm    G+G     C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF G+G
Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane

  C majorC    E minor 7Em7  FF        G+G  C majorC       E minor 7Em7  FF   G+G
The Maximum Lawman run down Flamingo chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
C majorC               E minor 7Em7  FF  G+G       C majorC      E minor 7Em7  G+G
And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands
 G+G    C majorC       E minor 7Em7 FF      G+G   C majorC   E minor 7Em7   FF
From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world
DmDm    A minorAm    DmDm A minorAm DmDm  FF   C majorC FF C majorC FF
As we take our stand down in Jungleland

C majorC     G+G   FF       G+G C majorC          G+G FF    G+G
The midnight gang's assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night
    C majorC         G+G  FF     G+G C majorC           G+G  FF
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign that brings this fair city light
G+G    C majorC            G+G   FF
Man there's an opera out on the Turnpike
G+G     C majorC             G+G   FF
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
G+G   C majorC      G+G  FF     G+G C majorC      G+G FF
Until the local cops, Cherry Tops, rips this holy night
  DmDm      C majorC     FF        G+G
The street's alive as secret debts are   paid


    DmDm     C majorC     FF  G+G
Contacts made, they vanished unseen
   DmDm      C majorC     FF     G+G DmDm        C majorC      FF G+G
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine
  Bb majorBb          C majorC  DmDm
The hungry and the hunted explode into rock'n'roll bands
   Bb majorBb                     C majorC DmDm   FF     C majorC FF C majorC FF
That face off against each other out in the street down in Jungleland

Bb majorBb                 FF
In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
C majorC        G minorGm        Bb majorBb              FF    C majorC
Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the D.J. plays
Bb majorBb
Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
FF               C majorC G minorGm        Bb majorBb          C majorC
Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and they're gone
  Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb    Bb majorBb    Bb majorBb
Beneath the city two hearts beat
   C minorCm            Bb majorBb      C minorCm Bb majorBb  Abmaj7Abmaj7  Bb majorBb
Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked
  Abmaj7Abmaj7   Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb   AbAb  Bb7Bb7    Eb MajorEb
In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown
                      C minorCm    C9sus          C minorCm C9sus
The Rat's own dream guns him down as shots echo down them hallways in the night
    Abmaj7Abmaj7        Bb majorBb       Abmaj7Abmaj7 Bb majorBb
No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
     C minorCm         C majorC      C minorCm
Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light

G+G      DmDm      C majorC    FF     G7sus
Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
 G+G    DmDm       C majorC  FF G7sus G+G DmDm    C majorC
Between flesh and what's fantasy and the poets down here
      FF       G7sus G+G  DmDm       C majorC     FF G7sus G+G
Don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be
G+G      Bb majorBb
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
                DmDm           Bb majorBb
And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead
  Dm7Dm7   FF    C majorC
Tonight in Jungleland
