Genesis – Broadway Melody Of 1974 (Guitar)

F                                Faug
Echoes of the Broadway Everglades,

         Bbm              Db     F
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades:

F                                 Faug
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand.

Bbm                          Db        F
Marshall Mcluhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand.

F             F7               Bbm             Db          Eb
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing.

F            F7                    Bbm          Db                   Eb F
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline,  failing.

F                                          Faug
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food, and the band plays 'In the Mood'

         Bbm                          Db          F
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almonde.

F                                 Faug
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade

   Bbm               Db       F
He knows, in a scent, you can bottle all you made.

        F             F7                   Bbm                 Db            Eb
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes.

F F7            Bbm            Db     Eb        F
     And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home

     Bb       C           D
with needles; needles and pins.
