 1   -3  -2  3  4    -3
They say the ne-on lights 
-2   -1*   3    -2   1
are bright on Broad-way 
  1  -3    -2    3    4  -3 -2  -1* -2  1
They say there`s al-ways ma-gic in the air 
-2   -5   -3*    5   -6   -5  -3*   5 
But when you`re walk-in` down the street 
-2  -5   -3*   5  -6 -5   -3* 4  
And you ain`t had e-nough to eat 
 1   -3  -2    3    5   -3
The glit-ter rubs right off 
-2    -1*  -2   1
and you`re no-where 

  1  -3  -2   3  4    -3  -2   -1*
They say the wom-en treat you fine 
3   -2    1
on Broad-way 
 1   -3  -2  3    4   -3   -2   -1* -2   1
But look-in` at them just gives me the blues 
   -2  -5  -3* 5  -6  -5   -3*  5
`Cause how ya gon-na make some time 
 -2  -5  -3*  5  -6 -5   -3*   4
When all you got is one thin dime 
 1  -3   -2    3    5   -3 -2  
And one thin dime won`t ev-en 
 -1*   -2    1
shine your shoes 
 
  1  -3   -2  3   4    -3  -2   -1*
They say that I won`t last too long 
3    -2   1
on Broad-way 
 1     -3 -2   3    4   -3  -2   -1*
I`ll catch a Grey-hound bus for home 
 -2   1
they say 
-2    -5    -3*     5 -6  -5   -3*  5
But they`re dead wrong I know they are 
  -2  -5 -3*  5    -6   -5 -5 -3* 4
`Cause I can play this har-mon-i-ca, 
 1 -3   -2   3
and I won`t quit  
  4   -3 -2  -1* 1   -1*  -2
`till I`m a star on Broad-way
