[A][A][Cm][Cm]

[B][B][Bm][Bm]

[Chorus 1]
And the [F#]lamb lies [G]down on [C]Broadway

[Verse 1]
[C]Early morning Manhattan
Ocean winds blow on the land
[Em]The Movie-Palace is now undone
The [F]all-night watchmen have had their fun
[Em]Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show
It's [F]the same old ending
Time to go, get [C]out!

[Pre-chorus 1]
It [B]seems they cannot leave their dream
There's [Bm]something moving
in the sidewalk steam

[Chorus 2]
And the [F#]lamb lies [G]down on [C]Broadway
[C][C][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]Nightime's flyers feel their pains
Drugstore takes down the chains
[Em]Metal motion comes in bursts
But the [F]gas station can quench that thirst
Sus[Em]pension cracked on unmade road
[F]The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
[C]And out of subway

[Pre-chorus 2]
[B]Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
[Bm]Exits into daylight, spraygun hid

[Chorus 3]
And the [F#]lamb lies [G]down on [C]Broadway

[Bridge 1]
The [F]lamb seems right out of place
Yet [C]the Broadway street scene
finds a [F]focus in its face
[Dm]Somehow it's lying there
brings a [A]stillness to the air
Though [Am]man- [Bb]made light[Am][Bb]
At [Am]night is [Bb]very [Am]bright[Bb]
There's [Bb]no whitewash
vic[Bb]tim
As the [F]neons dim,
to the coat of [C]white

[Pre-chorus 3]
[B]Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
[Bm]Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did

[Chorus 4]
And the [F#]lamb lies [G]down on [C]Broadway

[Verse 3]
[C]Suzanne tired her work all done
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon
[Em]Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the [F]sawdust king spits out his scorn
[Em]Wonder women, you can draw your blind!
[F]Don't look at me! I'm not your kind,
I'm [C]Rael!

[Pre-chorus 4]
[B]Something inside me has just begun
[Bm]Lord knows what I have done

[Chorus 5]
And the [F#]lamb lies [G]down

[Outro 1]
On [C]Broadway, on Broadway
[Repeat and fade]
