Miami 2017 piano leadsheet with chords
Seen the lights
go out on Broadway,
I saw the Empire
State laid low.
And life went on lived beyond the Palisades,
they all bought
Cadillacs, and left there long ago.
co.
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.
I've seen the lights
go out on Broadway,
I saw the ruins at my feet.
You know we almost didn't notice it.
We'd seen it all the time
on FortySecond Street.
They burned the churches down in Harlem
like in that Spanish civil war.
The flames were ev'rywhere,
but no one really cared,
it always burned up there before.
I've seen the lights
go out on Broadway,
I saw 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
and blew the Bronx away,
and sank Manhattan out at sea.
You know those lights were bright on Broad
and keep the memory alive.
