[Intro]
E - F#m - A - E B7
[Verse]
E F#m
Well the midnight's on Manhattan 11th street and all alone
A E B7
Countin' cracks beneath my feet 'cause my head is hanging low
E F#m
And the street lights all down B shining on the falling rain
A E B7
Shadows dance across the street wind seems to whisper her name
[Chorus]
C#m B A
But it's this tired old town another sleepless night
F#m A E B7
Keep me wandering around down on the lower east side
[Solo]
E - F#m - A - E B7 x2
[Verse]
E F#m
So lay a star up in heaven shining down from up above
A E B7
And the city is unforgiving when you got noone to love
[Chorus]
C#m B A
But its more and more these days, I find I need a place to hide
F#m A E B7
And its easy to get away when your down on the lower east side
F#m A E
Yeah its easy to get away when your down on the lower east side
