Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][D][Dm][D]
[F#m][B][A][D][Dm][D]
[Bm][C#][C#m]

[Verse 1]
And the [Ab]lamb lies [A]down [Asus4]on Broadway.[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Early morning Manhattan,
Ocean winds blow on the land.
The [F#m]Movie- Palace is now undone,
The [G]all- night watchmen
have had their fun.
[F#m]Sleep ing cheaply on
the midnight show,
[G]It's the same old ending- time to go.
Get [D]out!
It [C#]seems they cannot leave
their dream.
There's [C#m]something moving
in the sidewalk steam,
And the [Ab]lamb lies [Asus4]down on[G]
[D]Broadway.

[Verse 3]
[D]
Nightime's flyers feel their pains.
Drugstore takes down the chains.
[F#m]Metal motion comes in bursts,
But the [G]gas station can quench that thirst.
Sus[F#m]pension cracked on unmade road
[G]The trucker's eyes read
[D]'Overload'
And out on the subway,
[C#]Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
[C#m]Exits into daylight, spraygun hid,
And [Ab]the lamb lies [Asus4]down
on [D]Broadway.

[Verse 4]
[G]The lamb seems right out of place,
[D]Yet the Broadway street scene
finds [G]a focus in its face.
[C#dim]Somehow it's lying there,
Brings [B]a stillness to the air.
Though [Bm]man- [C]made [Bm]light,
[C]at nig[G]ht is ver[C]y bri[Bm]ght,[C]
There's no whitewash victim,
As the [G]neons dim, to the coat of [D]white.[C#]
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid,
[C#m]Wipes his gun- he's
forgotten what he did,
And the [Ab]lamb lies [Asus4]down[A]
on [G]Broad[D] way.

[Verse 5]
[D]Suzanne tired her work all done,
Thinks money- honey- be on- neon.
[F#m]Cabman's velvet glove
sounds the horn
And the [G]sawdust king spits
out his scorn.
[F#m]Wonder women draw
your [G]blind!
Don't look at me! I'm not your kind.
[D]I'm Rael!
[C#]Something inside me has just begun,
[C#m]
Lord knows what I have done,
And the [Ab]lamb lies [Asus4]down on B[G]roa[D]dway.
On Broadway-
They say the lights are always
bright on Broadway.
They say there's always magic in [D]the air.

[Outro 1]
[D]
