Gm Selling late night transfers Dm Try to make a play A7 The people with the answers Dm D7 Don't often pass this way Gm Starting from Dolores Dm All the way to Three A7 Dm D7 It's the last tango on 16th Street
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm The later that it gets, the meaner than it looks A7 There's a lot to learn out here Dm D7 Not found in books Gm The goddess of the winter rain Dm Watch out for the heat A7 Dm D7 When it's the last tango on 16th Street
[Verse 3]
Gm Same old people begging quarters Dm Stretching out their hands A7 Venders selling flores Dm D7 From a plastic can Gm Some are poor but honest Dm Others lie and cheat A7 Dm D7 When it's the last tango on 16th Street

Gm Dm All the homeless helpless need a place to stay A7 Asking you for spare change Dm D7 Don't know what to say Gm Dm Gypsy plays her melody, a broken tooth just smile so sweet A7 Dm D7 At the last tango on 16th Street
[Verse 5]
Gm Same old song, I know you heard it Dm Many times before A7 Dm D7 Why this life in poverty seems so much like a war Gm Just make sure you're careful Dm Where you place your feet A7 Dm D7 When it's the last tango on 16th Street

Gm Dm Some of them don't see so good when they leave the bars A7 Talking loud and ugly Dm D7 Stepping from the cars Gm Dm If you're holding valuables, pays to be discrete A7 Dm D7 'Cause it's the last tango on 16th Street
[Verse 7]
Gm Dm Dodge between the hookers, aim between their thighs A7 Full moon shines above the bay Dm D7 You can see it in their eyes Gm Pass the Capp Street dogleg Dm Your heart might skip a beat A7 Dm D7 When it's the last tango on 16th Street
