Miami 2017/seen the lights go out on broadway

 
              D        G/D              D         G/D  D  A/C# 
Seen the lights go out on Broadway 
Bm        G                 A    Asus A  G 
I saw the Empire State laid low 
D/F#                        G          Gsus   G 
And life went on beyond the Palisades 
                A         Asus  A 
They all bought Cadillacs 
               G         A 
And left there long ago 
 
D            G/D           D         G/D  D  A/C# 
They held a concert out in Brooklyn 
Bm           G              A     Asus A  G 
To watch the island bridges blow 
D/F#            G 
They turned our power down 
D/A          G/B 
And drove us underground 
A/C#        G/B 
But we went right on with the show 
 
 
A/D  D       G/D  D  A/D  D      A  D/A  A 
 
 
(Repeat with same chords) 
 
I seen the lights go out on Broadway 
I saw the ruins at my feet 
You know we almost didn^Òt notice it 
We seen it all the time 
On Forty-Second street 
 
They burned the churches up in Harlem 
Like in that Spanish civil war 
The flames were everywhere 
But no one really cared 
It always burned up there before 
 
 
 
I 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 
They blew the Bronx away 
And sank Manhattan out at sea 
 
 
 
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 
 
("alive" is on a G/D chord, I play it X55433) 
 
(End with same as intro fingerstyle)
