Incident On 57Th Street

G             C                D
Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night
             G                          C
With bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up old Buick
    G                D
But dressed just like dynamite
         G                       C                 D
He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls over on Easy Street
                G                       C                G                    D
But they sighed Johnny it falls apart so easy and you know hearts these days are cheap
        C                                              G
And the pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a cheater
         C                                              G
Well the pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a liar
         C                                                             G
And from out of the shadows came a young girl's voice said Johnny don't cry


C     C/B  Am   C/B
Puerto Rican Jane
C C/B      Am      C/B        G
oh won't you tell me what's your name
          C        C/B        Am            C/B
I want to drive you down to the other side of town
      C                C/B
Where paradise ain't so crowded there'll be
Am           C/B           G
action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight
         D                          C
All them golden-heeled fairies in a real bitch fight
                       G                  D
Pull thirty eights and kiss the girls good night


CHORUS 1:
   G               C      D
Oh good night, it's alright Jane
             G         C              D
Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame
       G                 C             D
We may find it out on the street tonight baby
   G            C               D
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe


            G            C                     D
Well like a cool Romeo he made his moves, oh she looked so fine
       G                        C                     G                     D
Like a late Juliet she knew he'd never be true but then she didn't really mind
           G                   C                                 D
Upstairs a band was playin' the singer was singin' something about goin' home
                      G                         C                   G             D
She whispered Spanish Johnny, you can leave me tonight but just don't leave me alone


                 C     C/B  Am  C/B
And Johnny cried Puerto Rican Jane
C      C/B     Am        C/B      G
Word is down the cops have found the vein
        C       C/B            Am            C/B
Oh them barefoot boys left their homes for the woods
            C              C/B          Am             C/B
Them little barefoot street boys they say homes ain't no good
              G     D                     C
They left the corners threw away all their switchblade knives
    G                    D
And kissed each other goodbye


           G                         C                                 D
Johnny was sittin' on the fire escape watchin' the kids playin' down the street
               G                          C
He called down Hey little heroes, summer's long
                                       D
But I guess it ain't very sweet around here anymore
      G                         C
Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat
                         D
Johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on, dream on
        G
And the sister prays for lost souls
     C                        D
Then breaks down in the chapel after everyone's gone
G
Jane moves over to share her pillow
    C                                  D
But opens her eyes to see Johnny up and putting his clothes on
                 C
She says those romantic young boys
         G
All they ever want to do is fight
        C
Those romantic young boys they're callin' through the window
                                G                         D
Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to make a little easy money tonight?

And Johnny whispered


CHORUS 2:
G               C        D
Good night, it's all tight Jane
     G                C               D
I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
       G                 C             D
We may find it out on the street tonight baby
   G            C               D
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe


CHORUS 3:
   G               C        D
Oh Good night, it's all right Jane
          G                C               D
I'm gonna meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
          G                 C             D
Oh we can find it out on the street tonight baby
   G            C               D
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe


CHORUS 4:
   G               C        D
Ah Good night, it's all right Jane
     G                C               D
I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
           G                      C             D
Now we may find it out on...on the street tonight baby
          G                     C            D
Or we may have to walk until the morning light ahhh
