ON BROADWAY
F# E F# E F# E F# E
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
F# E F# E F# E F# E
The say there's always magic in the air
B A B A
But when you're walking down the street
B A B C C#
And you ain't had enough to eat
F# E F# E F# E F# E
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
G F G F G F G F
The say the girls are something else on Broadway
G F G F G F G F
But looking at them just gives me the blues
C Bb C Bb
Cause how you gonna make some time
C Bb C C# D
When all you've got is one thin dime
G F G F G F G F
And one thin dime won't even shine you're shoes
G# F# G# F# G# F# G# F#
The say that I won't last too long on Broadway
G# F# G# F# G# F# G# F#
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
C# B C# B
But no they're wrong I know they are
C# B C# D D#
Cause I can play this here guitar
G# F# G# F# G# F# G# F#
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
G# F# G# F# G# F# G# F# ...
