Miami 2017/seen the lights go out on broadway

Seen the lights go out on Broadway                I saw the Empire State laid low           And life went on beyond the Palisades          They all bought Cadillacs        And left there long ago   They held a concert out in Brooklyn           To watch the island bridges blow           They turned our power down And drove us underground But we went right on with the show                                           (Repeat with same chords)                 I seen the lights go out on Broadway              I saw the ruins at my feet                You know we almost didn^Òt notice it           We seen it all the time          On Forty-Second street    They burned the churches up in Harlem         Like in that Spanish civil war             The flames were everywhere But no one really cared It always burned up there before I seen the lights go out on Broadway              I watched the mighty skyline fall         The boats were waiting at the battery          The union went on strike         They never sailed at all They sent a carrier out from Norfolk          And picked the Yankees up for free         They said that Queens could stay They blew the Bronx away And sank Manhattan out at sea You know those lights were bright on Broadway     That was so many years ago                Before we all lived here in Florida            Before the Mafia                 Took over Mexico          There are not many who remember               They say a handful still survive           To tell the world about The way the lights went out And keep the memory alive ("alive" is on a chord I play it X55433) (End with same as intro fingerstyle)
