Genesis - The light dies down on broadway

^C#mAs he walks along the gorge's ^Bedge He meets a ^Asense of yester^Eyear A ^C#mwindow in the bank above his ^Bhead Reveals his ^Ahome amidst the ^Estreets

^G#mSubway sounds, the sounds of complaint The ^Asmell of acid on his gun of paint As it ^G#mcarves out anger in a blood-red band Des^Atroyed tomorrow by an unknown hand My ^Ehome

Is ^D#this the way out from the endless scene? ^EOr just an entrance to another dream? And the ^A#light dies ^Bdown on ^EBroadway

But ^C#mas the skylight beckons him to leave ^BHe hears a ^Ascream from far be^Elow Wi^C#mthin the raging water, writhes the ^Bform Of brother ^AJohn, he cries for ^Ehelp

^G#mThe gate is fading now, but open wide But ^AJohn is drowning, I must decide Be^G#mtween the freedom I had in the rat-race Or to ^Astay forever in this forsaken place Hey ^EJohn!!

He ^D#makes for the river and the gate is gone ^EBack to the void where it came from And the ^A#light dies ^Bdown on ^EBroadway

^E(fade out)
