_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ Bleeker [Am] Street is a street in New York [E] in Greenwich Village. _
_ _ And it's come to be more than just a [B] street.
_ It's come [A] to be a metaphor [E] for _ Greenwich Village. _
_ _ [F#] Which is unfortunate [F#m] because _ Bleeker [B] Street is _ well littered with _ _ _ [E] bad art galleries and [D#] pizza [C#m]
stands. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] And it obscures some of the good things, some of the [B] creative things that are happening.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Fogs rolling in [A] the northeast _ [E] _ riverbank. _
_ _ [G#] _ Like [F#m] a _ shroud, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ it _ [E] covers Bleeker [C#m] _ Street. _ _ _
Fills [G#] the _ _ _ _ alleys where [A] men _ sleep. _ _ _
[E] Hides the shepherd _ _ [G#] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
from [C#m] the _ sheep. _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Voices [B] leaking [A] from a sad [E] cafe. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Smiling faces _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ try [E] to _
_ [C#m] _ understand. _ _ _
I [G#] saw a shadow _ _ touch [A] a _ _ shadow's head _ [E] on _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ Bleeker _ _ [C#m] _ Street. _ _ _
_ [G#] _ [E] A _ _ [B] _ _
[G#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] poet reads [A] his crooked [E] rhyme.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Holy, _ holy _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is [C#m] _ his _ sacrament. _ _ _ _
Thirty [G#] _ _ dollars _ _ pays [A] your rent _ _ _ [E] on _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Bleeker [C#m] _ Street. _ _ _ _
[E] I _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ heard [B] a church bell [A] _ _ softly [E] _ chime.
_ _ _ _ [F#] In a _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ melody _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#m] sustaining. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] It's a long _ _ _ road [A] to _ Canaan _ _ [E] on _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
Bleeker [C#m] _ Street. _ _ _ _
