Lyrics

They say the (Eb)ne on (F)lights are (Eb)bright on (F)Broad (Eb)way;

they say there’s al (Eb)ways (F)mag ic (Eb)in the air.

But when you’re (Ab)walk in’ (Bb)down the (Ab)street

and you ain’t (Ab)had e (Bb)nough to (C)eat,

the glit ter (Eb)rubs right (F)off and (Eb)you’re no (F)where.

They say the (Eb)wom en (F)treat you (Eb)fine on (F)Broad (Eb)way,

but look in’ at (Eb)them (F)just gives (Eb)me the blues.

’Cause how ya (Ab)gon na (Bb)make some (Ab)time

when all you (Ab)got is (Bb)one thin (C)dime,

and one thin (Eb)dime won’t (F)e ven (Eb)shine your (F)shoes.

(F)I’m a (Eb)star on (Eb)Broad way.
