[Verse 1]
[C]Cat[G]ch [F]a t[D]axi to[Em]
the fountainhead
Blinking [F#m]neon p[F#sus4]enny arcade
A young [G]Caruso on the fire escape
[Am]Painted face ladies [C]on [D]parade
[C]The newsboy

[Verse 2]
[Em]on the corner
[F#sus4]Singing out headlines
And [G]a fiddler selling pencils
[Am]The sign [Bm]reads: Help
[C]the blind
[Dsus4]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Com[G]in' up the [C]lane [Am]callin'
Work[G]in' while [Em]the rain's f[C]allin'

your [G]song of [A]the street[C#dim][C]
Keeps haunting my [D]memory
[Dsus4][C]

[Verse 4]

Mu[D]sic in the [C]air
[Am]I hear it ev[Bm]'ryw[Em]here[C]
Rags, [B]bones and [G]old city [C#dim]song s

[Verse 5]
[C]Hear them, how [G]they talk [C]to me[G][F]
[Em]Trolley car rings out the morning
[F#sus4]Whistle blows at noo[F#]n
[F#sus4]A cat fight [G]breaks open the night

[Verse 6]
While [Am]watch dogs bay at
[C]the moon[Dsus4]
[Em]A preacher on an orange crate
With [Bm]a Salvation [F#sus4]Army Band[Bm]
[G]And clicking along
the cobbled stones

[Verse 7]
That's [Am]the sound of the [Em]ice-
[Am]cream [C]man[Dsus4][Em]
[G]Comin' up [C]the lane [Am]callin'
Work[Bm]in' [Em]while the rain's f[C]allin'
Rag[Bm]man,
your [G]song of [C#dim]the street[C]

[Verse 8]
Keeps haunting my [Dsus4]memory[C][Em]

[Em]The organ grinder and his monkey
Still [F#sus4]walkin' the same old

[G]The shoe- shine boy slappin' leather

[Verse 10]
He puts [Am]the rhythm [Bm]in
your [C]feet[Dsus4]
[D]Str[Em]ollin' by the churchyard
[F#sus4]
List'nin' to [F#m]the Sunday [F#sus4]choir
With [Bm]voices [G]rising to the heavens

[Verse 11]
Like sirens [Am]scream[Bm]ing
to [C]a fire[D][Em]
