[D] [Em]
I went to [A] Staten Island sharing a by myself [D] a mantel in
[G] [Dm] And I saw the [G] long white dress of love on a [D] star-crowned mannequin
[Am] [D]
[Am] [Cm] A big boat chucking [F] back with a belly full of [Cm] cars
All for [F] something lacy [Cm] [Dm] [F] Some girl's gonna see that dress [G] and [Dm] crave
that day like [D] crazy [Am] [D]
[G] [D]
Little [Am] [Em] Indian [A] kids on a bridge up in Canada
They [D] can balance it and they can climb [C] [Dm] Like their fathers before them [G] they'll walk
the covers [D] of the Manhattan skyline [C] Shine [Cm] your light on [A] this [F] liberty
[Eb] Cause as soon [F] as this fairy boat [Cm] docks [Dm] Headed to the church to play bingo
[G] [Am] Fleece me [D] with a gambler's blouse
[Am] [D]

Okay, what's the next verse?
[Am]
I [A]
[G] can keep my cool at poker [A] when I'm a [Am]
fool [D] in love with you
[Am]
Cause [Dm] [C] I can't [Dm] conceal emotion [G] but I'm [C] feelings [D] on my face
[Cm] There's a gypsy down on [Db] Baker [F] Street I went in to [Cm] see her as a kind of joke
And she [F] lit a candle for [Am] my love-luckin' Eighteen bucks when I've been [D] smoking
Sharing
[Em] high left my [A] man
My [D]
heart went cold at juncture [Am] [D]
[C] And [Dm] [Cm] I came out to the Big Apple
[G] To face the [D] dream's malfunction [Am] [D]
[C] [Cm] Love's a repetitious [F] [Cm] danger
You'd think I'd be accustomed to [F] Well I do, [G] except the [Cm] change is better
Than [D] I used to do
A [Am] [G] woman I [A] knew just drowned herself The well was deep [D] and muddy
[G] [D]
[Am] She [F] was just shaking [D] off [G] futility Or punishing [D] somebody
[C] [D]
[Am] Friends [Cm] following [F] up all day yesterday All emotions and abstractions
Seems we [G] all live so close to that line [B] And so far from [D] satisfaction
[Em] When we were kids and [A] made stone share And I went to [G] every wedding in [D] every little town
[D]
[Dm] To see the [G] tears and the kisses [Dm] And the pretty lady and the [D] white lace gal
[Am] [Cm] [F] And walking home on the [Eb] railroad tracks [Cm] Or swinging on a playground swing
[Dm] Love [G] stimulated my illusions [D] more than anything
[G] [A] [D]
[Am] [G] And when I went [B] skating after [A] golden wedgie It [D] was white lace, I wish she'd said
[A] She [F] said [Dm] dreams, mama's nylon's [D] underneath my cowgirl jeans
[Am] [Cm] You showed me first, you get the kisses [F] [Cm] And then you [F] get the tears
[Dm] With the [G] [F] ceremony and the bells and lace Still veils this [D] weddingless [Am] fool here
[D]
[Em] There are twenty-nine [D] skaters on Wall Moon Rink [G] [Am] Circling [D] in singles and [Am] in pairs
[D]
[C] [F] In this vigorous [G] anonymity A blank face and [D] the window
Stares and stares and [Am] stares [Cm] And the powers of reason
[F] And the flowers [Cm] of deep feelings [Dm] Seem to serve me [Gm] all the time
Only [A] to deceive [D] me
Sure,
[Am] [Em] you got a husband [A]
and a family and a [D] farm
[C] [D]
[Em] I [F] got the apple of temptation [G]
And the [Am] diamond snake around my [D] arm
[D]
[Am] [Cm] But you still have your [F] music
[Cm] I've still got my [F] eyes on the land and the sky
You sing for your [G] friends and your family [Dm] I walk these pastures [D] by and by
