Light Dies Down on Broadway Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][A][G][A][Bm][A][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]As he wa[G]lk
s [Bm]along [G]the gorge's [A]edge,
He meets [G]a sense of yesteryear.
[D]A win[Bm]dow in [G]the ban[Bm]k
[G]above his [A]head
Reveals his [G]home amidst the street[D]s.
[F#m]Subway sounds,
the sounds of complaint
[G]The smell of acid on his gun of paint.
As it [F#m]carves out anger in a
blood-red band,
band,
Des[G]troyed tomorrow by an
unknown hand;
[D]My home.
Is [C#]this the way out from the
endless scene?
[C#m]Or just a[E]n entrance to another dream?
And the [Ab]light dies [Asus4]down on Broa[D]dway.
But [Bm]as the skyli[G]ght
[Bm]beckons [G]him to [A]leave,
He hears [G]a scream from far below.
[Bm]With[D]in the r[Bm]aging wate[G]r,[Bm]
[G]writhes [A]the form
Of brother John,
[G]he cries for[Bm] help.[D]
[F#m]The gate is fading now, but open wide.
But [G]John is drowning, I must decide
[F#m]Between the freedom I had in the rat-race,
Or Or to [G]stay forever in this
forsaken place;
[D]Hey John!
He [C#]makes for the river and
the gate is gone,
[C#m]Back to t[E]he void where it came from.
And the [Ab]light dies [Asus4]down on B[D]roa[Asus4]dway.[A][D]
