Verse 1

Esus2

Early morning Manhattan

Ocean winds blow on the land

G#m

The Movie-Palace is now undone

Amaj7

The all-night watchmen have had their fun

G#m

Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show

Amaj7

It's the same old ending

E7#11

Time to go, get out!

Pre-chorus 1

It seems they cannot leave their dream

Ebm7

There's something moving

in the sidewalk steam

Chorus 2

A/B

Esus2

And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Esus2

Verse 2
Esus2 
Nightime's flyers feel their pains
Drugstore takes down the chains
G#m 
Metal motion comes in bursts
Amaj7 
But the gas      station can quench that thirst
G#m 
Suspension cracked on unmade road
Amaj7 
The      trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
E 
E7#11 
And out of subway

Pre-chorus 2

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid

Ebm7

Exits into daylight, spraygun hid

Chorus 3

A/B

Emaj7

And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Bridge 1
Amaj7 
The lamb     seems right out of place
Emaj7 
Yet the      Broadway street scene
Amaj7 
finds a focus    in its face
F#m6 
Somehow it's lying there
C# 
brings a stillness to the air
C#m 
D/C# 
C#m 
D/C# 
Though man-  made light
C#m 
D/C# 
C#m 
D/C# 
At night is very   bright
Dmaj7#11 
D6 
There's no           whitewash
Dmaj7#11 
D6 
victim
Amaj7 
As the neons    dim,
E 
E7#11 
to the coat of white

Pre-chorus 3

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid

Ebm7

Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did

Chorus 4

A/B

Esus2

And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Verse 3
Esus2 
Suzanne tired her work all done
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon
G#m 
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
Amaj7 
And the sawdust  king spits out his scorn
G#m 
Wonder women, you can draw your blind!
Amaj7 
Don't    look at me! I'm not your kind,
E 
E7#11 
I'm Rael!

Pre-chorus 4

Something inside me has just begun

Ebm7

Lord knows what I have done

Chorus 5

A/B

And the lamb lies down
