Interlude 1

Verse 3
G 
Sweet Melinda
A 
The peasants call her the
G 
D 
goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
G 
A 
D 
And she invites you up into her room
G 
And you're so kind
D 
And careful not to go to her too soon
A 
And she takes your voice
G 
And leaves you howling at the moon.
D 

Verse 4
Up on Housing Project Hill
G 
A 
D 
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
G 
Though neither of them are
A 
D 
to be what they claim
G 
If you're lookin' to get silly
You better go back to from
D 
where you came
A 
Because the cops don't need you
G 
And man they expect the same.
Now all the authorities
D 
They just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed
the sergeant- at- arms
Into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who
Just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking just like a ghost.

Verse 5
D 
I started out on burgundy
G 
A 
D 
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd
G 
stand behind me
D 
When the game got rough
G 
But the joke was on me
D 
There was nobody even there to bluff
A 
I'm going back to New York City
G 
I  do believe I've had enough.
