Biography:
Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
Bm G A
I saw the Empire State laid low.
F#m7 Bm
And life went on beyond the Palisades,
B7sus2 D
They all bought Cadillacs
A G
And left there long ago.
D G/B D A
They held a concert out in Brooklyn
Bm G A--Asus4-A
To watch the Island bridges blow.
D/F# G
They turned our power down
D G/B
And drove us underground
A G/B D
But we went right on with the show
[INTERLUDE x2] D D A Asus4 A
D G/D D
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
Bm G A Asus4 A
I saw the ruins at my feet
F#m7 Bm B7sus2
You know we almost didn't notice it
B7sus2 A G A
We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street.
D G/D D
They burned the churches up in Harlem
Bm G A Asus4 A
Like in that Spanish Civil War
D/F# G
The flames were everywhere
D G/B
But no one really cared
A G/B D
It always burned up there before
[INTERLUDE x2] D D A Asus4 A
D G/D D
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
Bm G A Asus4 A
I watched the mighty skyline fall.
F#m7 Bm B7sus2
The boats were waiting at the Battery
B7sus2 A
The union went on strike
G
They never sailed at all.
D G/D D
They sent a carrier out from Norfolk
Bm G A Asus2 A
And picked the Yankees up for free.
D/F# G
They said that Queens could stay
D G/B
They blew the Bronx away
A G/B D
And sank Manhattan out at sea
[INTERLUDE x2] D D A Asus4 A
D G D A
You know those lights were bright on Broadway
Bm G A
But that was so many years ago
F#m7 Bm B7sus2
Before we all lived here in Florida
B7sus2 A G
Before the Mafia took over Mexico.
D G/D D A
There are not many who remember
Bm G A
They say a handful still survive
D/F# G
To tell the world about
D G/B
The way the lights went out
A G/B Bb
And keep the memory alive
