 -7   -7   -7 -6b -6b -5   -5   5
Seen the light go out on broad-way

-7 7   -7 -7  -6b  -6b   -5   -5
I saw the Em-pire State laid low

 -5  -6  -6b -6b -5  -5   5   -4  4   4
And life went on be-yond the Pal-is-ades

  5   5   -5b    5  -4  -4
They all bought Cad-il-lacs

 -4   5     5    5 -4 -4
And left there long a-go

 -7   -8  8  7   -7   -7 -6   -6   5
They held a con-cert out in Brook-lyn

-7   7    -7 -7  -6b  -6b  -5  -5
To watch the is-land bridg-es blow

 -5    -8    7   7  -7  -7
They turned our pow-er down

 -5    8   7  7  -7   -7
And drove us un-der-ground

 -5  7   7    7   -7  -7   -7  -7
But we went right on with the show

Verse 2

 -7   -7   -7   -7  -6b -6b -5   -5   5
I've seen the lights go out on Broad-way

-7 7   -7 -7 -6b -6b -5  -5
I saw the ru-ins  at my feet

 -5  -6 -6b -6b -5   -5  5  -4   4   4
You know we al-most did-n't no-tice it

  5    5 -5b  5   -4  -4
We'd seen it all the time 

-5 -6b -7 -6b -5   -5b
on For-ty se-cond Street

 -7     8    7    7   -7   -7 -6b  -5  5
They burned the chur-ches down in Har-lem

 -7   7  -7   -7  -6b -6b -5  -5
Like in that Span-ish civ-il war

 -5    8     7   7 -7   -7
The flames were ev'ry-where

 -5  8  7    7  -7   -7
But no one real-ly cared

-5  7   7     7   -7   -7  -7  -7
It al-ways burned up there be-fore


VERSE 3 SAME AS 2
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
I watched the mighty skyline fall
The boats were waiting at the battery
The union went on strike
They never sailed at all
They sent a carrier out from Norfolk
And picked the Yankees up for free
They said that Queens could stay
And blew the Bronx away
And sank Manhattan out at sea

VERSE 4 SAME AS 1
You know those lights were bright on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in Florida
Before the Mafia took over Mexico
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive

ENJOY!!!
