Life On Bleeker Street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]live in the basement of a building,
in a building on a street in this town,
in a build[Em]ing on [C]a street in a neighborhood
complete with the garbage
[Em]and the sun goin[D]g down[G].
I work in the office of a rich man
At a desk with a pencil in the rear
[C]Five days a week
where I rarely get to speak
As I [Em]watch my future [D]slowly disap[G]pear
Cause [C]this is [G]life on [C]Bleecker Street
[G]Where the tou[C]rists shu[G]ffle
to a [D]boombox [G]beat
Old men [C]sit and stare at their feet
This is life on [D]Bleecker [G]Street
[C][G][C][G][Em][C][D]
[G]The owner of the deli is a yes man,
he oddles all the women going by
He [Em]tries to be dis[C]creet
from his window on the street,
he's a how -ya [Em]-doin'
[D]honey kinda [G]guy
People talk revolution in their cafes,
they debate right and wrong
while they drink
There are buses, [Em]there are [C]cars,
there are shiny [Em]movie [C]stars,
there are [Em]starving writers
[D]standing on the [G]prank
Cause [C]this is [G]life on [C]Bleecker Street
[G]With a tou[C]rist shu[G]ffled
to a [D]boom[G]box beat
[C]Old men sit and stare at their feet
This is life on [D]Bleecker [G]Street[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][D][G][Em][G][C][Em][C][D][G][C]
[G]All kinds of [D]people[G]
[C]Come from [G]who knows [D]where
[Am]All [Em]kinds of p[D]eople
Who [C]knows how [D]much they [Em]care
Who [C]knows how [D]much[C][G]
[C][G][C][G][D][G][Em][G][C]
[Em]Hey! [C]Hey! [D]Hey! Hey!
[G]The lady with the jewels and the Nikon
Wants to photograph another souvenir
She's [Em]looking for a [C]sexy New York [Em]icon[C]
To [Em]prove to someone she [D]was really [G]here
I'm meeting my baby on the byway
In the dark on the Lower East Side
With a [Em]sweetie made [C]of stone
we can finally be alone
I can [Em]hold her in my [D]arms
and we [G]can ride
Cause [C]this is [G]life on [C]Bleaker Street
[G]Where the tou[C]rists shu[G]ffle
to a [D]boombox [G]beat
Old men [C]sit and stare at their feet
This is life on [D]Bleaker [G]Street
[Em]This is [C]life on [D]Bleaker [G]Street
[Em]This is [C]life on [D]Bleaker

[Outro 1]
