	  		Intro: Am 

      Am             C                     Em           Bm 
The stories of the street are mine, the Spanish voices laugh. 
Am                C                        Em                  Bm 
The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas, 
    Am              F                  G    F#       B 
and I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose, 
    E               A        E               D       A    Am 
yes one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose.  

   Am                    C            Em              Bm 
I know you've heard it's over now and war must surely come, 
Am                     C                     Em            Bm 
  the cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone. 
    Am              F                 G      F#      B 
But let me ask you one more time, O children of the dusk, 
           E                 A              E                D      A    Am 
All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us? 

     Am                 C           Em               Bm 
And where do all these highways go, now that we are free? 
Am                 C                   Em                  Bm 
Why are the armies marching still that were coming home to me? 
   Am             F            G      F#         B 
O lady with your legs so fine O stranger at your wheel, 
         E                A                   E                D       A    Am 
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal. 

    Am         C                     Em               Bm 
The age of lust is giving birth, and both the parents ask 
Am                      C               Em                 Bm 
  the nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass. 
Am                  F                  G        F#      B 
  And now the infant with his cord is hauled in like a kite, 
     E                   A           E                     D       A    Am 
and one eye filled with blueprints, one eye filled with night. 

   Am             C           Em                Bm 
O come with me my little one, we will find that farm 
      Am              C                Em                   Bm 
and grow us grass and apples there and keep all the animals warm. 
    Am              F                   G      F#      B 
And if by chance I wake at night and I ask you who I am, 
    E              A                     E                   D       A    Am 
O take me to the slaughterhouse, I will wait there with the lamb. 

      Am             C             Em             Bm 
With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl 
   Am         C                   Em               Bm 
I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world. 
    Am              F                 G      F#          B 
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky, 
      E             A               E                D       A    Am 
and lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye.
