1.They say the neon lights are bright on Broad - way
they say there's always magic in the air
but when you're walkin' down the street,
and you ain't had enough to eat_____
the glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere.
(intro riff)
2.They say the women all treat you fine on Broad - way
but lookin' at them just gives me the blues_____
How ya gonna make some time,
when all you got is one thin dime_______
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes.
3. (guitar solo) (use intro riff during - parts, make up
your own on the -- parts)
4.They say that I won't last too long on Broad - way
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
but they're dead wrong, I know they are
cause I can play this here guitar______
I won't quit till I'm a star on Broad - way____
ending - chords over Neil's crazy ad lib.
On Broad_________way
All chords shown are open, though for the ending he uses
Barre & . For the riff, just finger the open chord
on & off. Let the note on e string ring out and mute somewhat
the last 4 notes. Any corrections, additions welcome.
