Genesis – The Light Dies Down On Broadway (Guitar)

C#m                           B
As he walks along the gorge's edge

           A              E
He meets a sense of yesteryear

  C#m                          B
A window in the bank above his head

            A               E
Reveals his home amidst the streets

G#m
Subway sounds, the sounds of complaint

    A
The smell of acid on his gun of paint

      G#m
As it carves out anger in a blood-red band

   A
Destroyed tomorrow by an unknown hand

   E
My home

   D#
Is this the way out from the endless scene?

E
Or just an entrance to another dream?

        A#         B       E
And the light dies down on Broadway

    C#m
But as the skylight beckons him to leave

B          A                 E
He hears a scream from far below

  C#m                                B
Within the raging water, writhes the form

           A                  E
Of brother John, he cries for help

G#m
The gate is fading now, but open wide

    A
But John is drowning, I must decide

  G#m
Between the freedom I had in the rat-race

      A
Or to stay forever in this forsaken place

    E
Hey John!!

   D#
He makes for the river and the gate is gone

E
Back to the void where it came from

        A#         B       E
And the light dies down on Broadway

E
(fade out)
