D G D A I've seen the lights go out on Broadway Bm G A I saw the Empire State laid low F#m7 Bm And life went on beyond the Palisades B7sus2 D They all bought Cadillacs A G And left there long ago D G D A They held a concert out in Brooklyn Bm G A Asus4 A To watch the Island bridges blow D G They turned our power down D G And drove us underground A G D But we went right on with the show
