[G#m] [A]
[G#m] [A] [G#m] [F#m] [G#]
[C#m] Up in the streets of Harlem, 110th [A] and Palm, that's where my baby [B] waits for [A#] me, [A] there in the dark.
And [G#] I'm going, going, going, going.
[C#]
Oh baby, don't wait [F#] for me, [C#] I've got [G#] to go now.
[C#] Baby, [F#] don't you see [C#] me, got to go [G#] now.
[C#] [F#] That's just what [C#] it was to [G#] me, so now.
[C#m] Up in the streets of Harlem,
[A] 125th, they say we [D#m] always [B] swing there, [A] what a lie, what a myth.
[C#m]
And [G#] I'm going, going, going, going, [C#] going for another.
Oh baby, don't [F#] turn your back [C#] on me, [G#] I'm leaving, [F#] I've got to find [C#m]
what [G#] I believe in, [F#] don't want no [C#] more pain [G#] and grieving.
You're [C#] not alone.
[D#]
[G#] [A] [G#] [F#m] [G#]
[C#m] From the streets, the [Bm] streets of Harlem
[G#]
[C#] [G#]
Up [C#m] in the streets of Harlem
The tenements [A] and the dirt
I see my [B] baby's face there
[A] Full of shame, full of hurt
[C#m] I've got [G#] to go and cry
[C#]
Oh baby, please let [F#] me go
[C#] My friends [G#] are dying
[C#] I [F#] can't sleep [C#] cause I know [G#] they're trying
[C#] To [F#] keep the little [C#]
one [G#] from crying
[C#] In the streets, the streets [G#] of Harlem
[C#] In the streets, the streets of [G#] Harlem
[C#] In the streets, the streets [G#] of Harlem
