42nd Street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Spiraling leapers,
wearing Nike sneakers
Some of them laugh, some of them sing
[D]Some of them don't do
a god[E]damn thing
[Am]Trip- skipping drifters,
grafters and lifters
Chicks with big tits,
school boys with [F]zits
Moonlight circus of earthly delights
[F#m]
Pimpmobile cruising the soft velvet night
[G]Deals going down,
[E]midnight in [Am]town[F][E][Am]
[F][E]
Down into the subways,
[D]the underground tunnels
A mu[C]sician is playing,
[E]a drunk stumbles and mumbles
Out in the park it's scary with frights
[F]Somebody shot out all
the streetlights
[E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Hookers and bookies, floozies and boozers
All kinds of misfits, perverts and losers
[D]Out of the limo that looks like a boat
[E]The pimp steps out in a mink fur coat
Sport[F]ing a Fedora, that creates its own aura
A [F#m]ruby- tooth grin and a diamond stick pin
A [G]deal's going [E]down this side

[Interlude 1]
of town
[Am][F][E][Am][F][E]

[Verse 3]
[E]People walk on fleet feetOn the way
down 42nd Street
Except for the bums, down for the count
That one's dead but no one's found out
And look at the bitch,
with her dress up ass
When she moves that [F]thing,
she must [E]move it fast
[Am]Cop with a nightstick, checking
around
A neon lit junkie slides to the ground
Here comes a flasher, a jogger, a punk
Check out that guy, drunk as a skunk
[D]Blinking, reflection,
lights melt in the rain
[E]The sidewalks are empty,
nothing's the same
[D]4 A.M. people are crashing
Where [E]the hookers are huddled
Colored raindrops are splashing
[Am]The deals have gone down,
the bimbo's split town
Burned from the hustle,
burned from the hype
But [F]under the lights, I'm feeling alright
[F#m]On 42n[G]d Street, it's just ano[E]ther[Am][F][E][Am]
[F]
[E][Am][F][E][Am]
