Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Capo 3.
[Verse 1]
A
And now I know
C#7 F#m A D A Bm
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
A
I thought I knew
C#7 F#m A D A Bm
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
D A Bm A
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
D A E A
You stand at the edge while people run you through
D A E A
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
D A Bm E
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
[Chorus]
A G
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
D E
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
A D
Turn around and say good morning to the night
C#7 F#m E
For unless they see the sky
D A B
But they can't and that is why
D E D A
They know not if it's dark outside or light
[Verse 2]
A
This Broadway's got
C#7 F#m A D A Bm
It's got a lot of songs to sing If I knew the tunes I might join in
A
I'll go my way alone
C#7 F#m A D A Bm
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City
D A Bm A
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
D A E A
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
D A E A
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
D A Bm E
I thank the Lord for the people I have found
[Chorus]
A G
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
D E
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
A D
Turn around and say good morning to the night

For unless they see the sky
D A B
But they can't and that is why
D E D A
They know not if it's dark outside or light
