Gonna [E] make a living dancing in the [A] Broadway shows
So she [E] hitched a cross country from [B] Paso Robles [E] to the Big [A] Red Apple
Where [F#m] your dreams and your [A] debts must be paid on time
I'll hold [B] you close, [E] taxi dancer
[A] And [E] [A] I'll listen to how you're having through [B] your dreams, how they're fading [E] away

But [E] I heard she sits alone [B] drunk downtown on [A] 42nd Street
And [E] sometimes an old butcher [B] slips water into the [A] jute bags
