[C] [C7] [C] [C7] [C]I’ve been walking these [C7]streets so [C]long [C]Singing the same [C7]old [C]song I [C]know every crack in these dirty [C7]sidewalks of [G]Broad[G7]way [G] Where [F]hustle is the [F7]name of the [F]game And [F]nice guys get washed a[F7]way like the [F]snow and the [C]rain [C7] [C]

And [F]I dream of the things I’ll do With a [F]subway [F7]token and a [F]dollar tucked inside my [C]shoe [C7] [C] There’s been a [G]load of [G7]compro[G]missing On the [F]road to [F7]my ho[C]rizon And [F]I’m gonna be where the [Dm]lights are shining on [G]me [Dm] [G]

Like a [F]Rhine[G]stone [C]Cowboy [F] [C] Riding [C7]out on a horse [C]in a star spangled rode[G]o Like a [F]Rhine[G]stone [C]Cowboy [C7] [C] Getting [C]cards and letters from [C7]people I don’t even [G]know And [G7]offers coming [G]over the [F]phone [C]
