[Intro] A G D x4 [Verse 1]
    A             G              D
The willow in the wind is gently weeping

   A             G                D
No city lights tonight for she is sleeping

    A           D               G               A
But in a little while she will awake and gently smile
[Chorus]
   D               G                 Em     A D
My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning
[Verse 2]
A                 G                 D
Somewhere a siren sounds and she is turning

A                 G                D
She moves my arm around 'cause she is burning

A                  D           G              A
She has so much to give but so little time to live
[Chorus]
   D               G                 Em     A D
My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning
[Instrumental] A G D x2 [Verse 3]
A                  G                  D
As I look down the streets are slowly forming

        A             G                   D
And the ladies of the night have start performing

        A                G                D
And the trash-collectors horn salutes the dawning

    A                 G                    D
And soon the workward bound will they wake up yawning

    A                 G         D
And soft warm hands behind that give no warning

A            G                  D
Tell me, for just one hour have I been learning

A                 D          G              A
I have so much to say but so little time to stay
[Chorus]
        D               G          Em            A D
With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning

        D               G          Em            A D
With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning
[Outro] A G D x4
