Intro (also the fadeout)
Let bass notes ring. The first note's a harmonic because you'll
have to slide up a bit. Practice it slow; this has to be perfect
to sound good. To perform it I have to rehearse it for several days
before the gig or I get rusty.
I use a clean sound with a touch of chorus, just a hint.
Legal, this is what I, Neil Fein, heard on the record.

RE SOL/RE RE SOL/RE RE LA/DO#
Seen the lights go out on Broadway

And life went on beyond the Palisades

They held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the island bridges blow
RE/FA# SOLThey turned our power down
RE/LA SOL/SIAnd drove us underground
But we went right on with the show
(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)
