[Verse 1]
[Em]SPOKEN:
Pale Male, [C]the famous red- tail [Em]hawk,
[G]performs wingstand[Em]s high above [C]midtown Manhattan
Circles [G]around for one last
pass over the [Em]park
Got [C]his eye on a fat squir[G]rel down
there and a couple of pi[Em]geons
They got no [C]place to run, no [G]place to hide
But [Em]Pale Male, he's [C]cool, see,
'cause his [G]breakfast ain't going nowhere
So he does [Em]a loop t'loop for the tour
[C]ists and the six [G]o'clock news
Got him [Em]a penthouse view [C]from the tip-
top [G]of the food chain, boys
He looks [Em]up and down Fifth A[C]venue and says,
[G]"God, I love this [D]town"[G]
SUNG: But [C]life goes on,

[Verse 2]
[Em]
[D]dow[G]n here b[C]elow[Em][D][G]
And [C]all us mor[Em]tals struggle
[D]so[G][C][Em]
We [D]laugh and [G]cry[C][Em]
And [D]live and [G]die[C][Em]
That's [D]how it [G]goes
For [C]all we know
[Em]Down here [D]below

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
SPOKEN: I [Em]saw
Joe Mitchell's [C]ghost
on a [G]downtown A train
He just [Em]rides on forever[C], now that the Fulton
[G]Fish Market's shut down
[Em]He said, "They ain't never [C]gon
na get that smell [G]out of the water
I don't give [Em]a damn how much
of that [C]new money they [G]burn"
Now [Em]Hell's Kitchen's [C]"Clinton"
[G]and The Bowery's "Nolita"
And The [Em]East Village is creep[C]ing
across the Wil[G]liamsburg Bridge
[Em]Hey, whatever [C]happened
to Alphabet [G]City?
Ain't [Em]no place left in t[C]his town
[G]that a poor boy can [D]go[G]
SUNG: But [C]life goes on

[Verse 4]
[Em]
[D]dow[G]n
[C]here be[Em]low[D][G]
And [C]all us mor[Em]tals struggle
[D]so[G][C][Em]
We [D]laugh and [G]cry[C][G]
[Em]And live[D] and die[G][C][Em]
That's [D]how it [G]goes
For [C]all we know
[Em]Down here [D]below
[G][C][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Pale Male swimming in the air
Looks like he's in heaven
up [D]there
[G]People suffering everywhere
But he don't care

[Verse 6]
But life goes [G]on [C]dow[Em]n
[D]here be[G]low[C][Em][D][G]
And [C]all us mor[Em]tals struggle
[D]so
[G][C][Em][D]
