E                                     A    E
My baby's in the kitchen on a big red trombone

                                 A   E
I'm in the bedroom on the cursed phone.

A         G               A         G
Everybody laughs when the band goes too slow,

A             G            A       G
Meeting every Tuesday in a club in Soho.

E                         A      E
I'm just dreaming of Rockafeller Plaza.
[Verse 2]
E                                   A    E
Paul's in the hall with the bedroom plaything,

E                                     A    E
Wishing he could give her a damn good thrashing.

A         G            A        G
Everybody cries "Well, good for you Paul".

A         G        A         G
We never liked her very much at all

E                          A     E
I'm just dreaming of Rockafeller Plaza.
[Chorus]
E                    D     E
I'm just swinging on magic shoes

                            D    G     E
Got three wee chords, and I just can’t lose.

                    D       E
I'm just finding my own way there

                         D    G  E
So I lost my voice and I grew my hair
[Verse 3]
E                                  A    E
Brother John's long gone keeps his nose clean

E                                  A E
He's sucking on a black and white TV screen.

A             G          A              G
Says he got a girl and a paper paid for memory,

A           G              A         G
Pictures on the wall and a dog named Henry

E                         A      E
I'm just dreaming of Rockafeller Plaza.
[Verse 4]
E                                   A E
Ella’s in the band but she’s always solo,

E                              A    E
Dressed in rags and covered in dayglo,

A              G            A         G
Banging on the drums like a big white throwback,

A                 G            A       G
Screaming all the while at her husband poor Jack.

E                         A      E
I'm just dreaming of Rockafeller Plaza.
[Chorus 2]
E                    D       E
I’m just waiting for pigs to fly.

E                            D  G   E
Got coke yeah, brains and no reason why.

E                       D       E
Might just split and go half as slow.

E                         D   G   E
And me, your dog and your one man show.
[Solo] E E7 [Chorus]
E                    D     E
I'm just swinging on magic shoes

                            D    G     E
Got three wee chords, and I just can’t lose.

                    D       E
I'm just finding my own way there

                         D    G  E
So I lost my voice and I grew my hair

E                    D       E
I’m just waiting for pigs to fly.

E                            D  G   E
Got coke yeah, brains and no reason why.

E                       D       E
Might just split and go half as slow.

E                         D   G   E
And me, your dog and your one man show.
