[F]So say one and [Bbmaj7]so say all
[F]Say what you gotta say Or don't say [Eb7]nothing at all
[Abmaj7]You've been tossin' and turnin' through [Dbmaj7]soft sticky nights
While the [Bbm7]Bronx below you fights to stay [C]alive[C7][F][C]
[F]So say one and [Bbmaj7]so say all
[F]Be what you gotta be Or don't be [Eb7]nothing at all
[Abmaj7]Be gracious to your mother When you [Dbmaj7]leave this neighbourhood

Next to [Ebmaj7]me you look bad
`Cos there [Bb9/D]ain't no fresh air for my [Eb]mama, my [Fm7]mama[F#][Db][B][Db7]
[Cm7]But the drop is shear When you [D]break away
[C]Take me away
It's [D7]just about time to hit the road
And [Bb]say You g[Am]otta bel[Am/G]ieve in [C]something
It's[C] easy to see
My God is [D7]fading away
So [Bb]pick up your bible[Am] and [Am/G]pray for [C]me
We're [F]all alone in the darkness
But our [F#dim]eyes are wide open
[G]We don't see nothing
And our [Bb]hands are tied
To the [Dm]railings of the [C]Bowery
And the [Bb]humid city [Gm7]slickers
[F]So say one and [Bbmaj7]so say all
[F]We had a lot to say And we [Eb7]said it all
[Abmaj7]The cost of livin' in dreams Is [Dbmaj7]rising like a crime wave
(The American way of dying - The American way of dying)
And it [Ebmaj7]gets you every time
And it [Bb9/D]looks like it's got to my [Eb]mama My [Fm7]mama
May she [F#]rest....[Ab]in....[C]peac[G]e[F][G7][C]
