Verse 1
There (A minor)
was a murder down in (D minor) Chinatown
on a cold (G major) (D minor) September late
A (A minor) teenage killer pull (F major) s (D minor) a gun,
blood spat (G major) ters on the plates (D minor)
Curious (A minor) stop, the (G major) siren screams,
soon (D minor) there is a crowd (G major)
Someone (A minor) killed in Chinatown, (G major)
they (D minor) said it right (G major) out loud (D minor) (Bdim) (D minor)
(G major) Fam (E minor) ilies flee, the res (A minor) taurant closed,
people (E minor) running fast (A minor)
Cops (E minor) poke through the (A minor) garbage,
find a (D minor) body by (A minor) the trash (E major) (Esus4) (E major)
While (A minor) unseen steps
walk through (G major) the rain
to a (D minor) subway underground
(G major) A (A minor) gun is tossed along (G major) the tracks
and the wheel (D minor) goes one (G major) more round (A minor)
The pretty couple pay (F major) the tab
(D minor) and walk (G major) across the street (D minor)
Flashing (A minor) lights, they draw (D minor) a stairway,
canal (G major) and mulberry mead (D minor)
He (A minor) wraps a jacket round (G major) her arms,
with a (D minor) quick eye down her brow (G major)
A (A minor) button now reveals (G major)
a (D minor) curve (F major) he never (D minor) saw
He (E minor) likes her name, Char (A minor) lene,
Char (E minor) lene sounds so clean (A minor)
And (E minor) that she works on Wall (A minor) Street
at a (D minor) firm with twenty names (Esus4) (E major) (Esus4)
(E major) Oh, (A minor) an ambulance was one (G major) trip
that could (F major) never be (D minor) for them (G major)
He (A minor) puts his arm around (G major) her waist
and (F major) lets the bottle (G major) spin (A minor)
Spins around, (F major) (G major) it goes around (A minor)
A gun is crushed beneath (F major) the tracks
and the wheel (G major) goes (F major) one more round (A minor)
Charlene hikes a (F major) skirt up,
pulls a (G major) stocking down her leg
She (A minor) takes the band out from (F major) her hair,
(D minor) gets (G major) up and shuts the shade (D minor)
A (A minor) lawyer in her bath (G major) room,
she (F major) met him (D minor) at a bar
(G major) She ne (A minor) gotiates with the earth (G major) now,
she (D minor) gave up (Bdim) all the stars (D minor)
The (E minor) coolness of his hand
(A minor) exposed the (E minor) softness of his skin
(A minor) She (E minor) shows the wind between (A minor) her legs
and (D minor) reaches out (A minor) for him (E major) (Esus4) (E major) (Esus4)
(E major) Her (A minor) other hand can (G major) feel the dress,
she (D minor) has no wedding gown (G major)
Twist (A minor) the cloth (G major) of broken dreams
and the wheel goes one more
(A minor) round (F major) (G major) (A minor) (F major) (G major)
(A minor)
At two a .m. it's finished,
she lights a cigarette
(F major) She (A minor) doesn't hear his (F major) lame excuse,
I (A minor) see him getting (G major) dressed (D minor) (F major)
(A minor) Outside he walks to Chinatown (G major)
to (F major) get something to eat
(G major) Strange (A minor) women make him nervous, (G major)
the (F major) first time (G major) when they meet (F major)
The (E minor) restaurant wasn't (A minor) open,
only cops (E minor) and broken glass
(A minor) Something (E minor) evil happened (A minor) here,
a (D minor) feeling (A minor) told I'm (E major) mad (Esus4)
(E minor) Takes (A minor) a taxi in (G major) the rain,
in the dark (F major) he looks around (G major)
Find (A minor) s a phone, (G major) makes a call
(A minor) and the wheel goes one more round
Spins around, (F major) (G major) it goes around (A minor)
Just the cloth of broken (F major) dreams
and the (G major) wheel goes one more round (A minor)
The stretcher from the (F major) ambulance
drops a body (G major) at the (D minor) morgue
It's (A minor) quiet for a (F major) Sunday night,
just a (A minor) few above the floor (D minor)
(F major) They (A minor) roll into a cold (G major) room,
where they (F major) write a short report
(G major) A (A minor) face with no iden (G major) tity,
they (F major) didn't have much more
Mean (E minor) while in a (A minor) bed room,
two (E minor) eyes look in the (A minor) mir ror
A (E minor) face with no iden (A minor) tity,
with a voice (D major) no (A minor) one can hear (Esus4)
She (A minor) pulls the window shades, (G major)
sees the (F major) lights of Chinatown
(G major) With a (A minor) dead dream of the (G major) living,
the wheel (F major) goes (G major) one more round (A minor)
It goes around, (F major) (G major) it spins around (A minor)
The face with no iden (F major) tity,
and the wheel (G major) goes one more round
(A minor) It goes (F major) around, it (G major) spins (A minor) around
With the daydream of the (F major) living
The wheel (G major) goes round and (A minor) round
It was a murder down in Chinatown
(F major) (G major) (F major) It was (A minor) a murder down
in (F major) Chinatown (A minor)
(F major) Just a (A minor) minute down in (F major) Chinatown (A minor)
