sound, of an angel
A#                D#
New York, like a Christmas tree
  A#               
  Tonight this city

belongs to me, Angel

Birdland on fifty-three

The street sounds like a symphony

[Verse]
A#                 D#
Blue light on the avenue
A#              D#
God knows they got to you
   A#                D#
An empty glass, the lady sings
A#                   D#
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
A#       D#
Blinded you lost your way
A#                       D#  
Through the side streets

and the alleyway
A#                     D#
Like a star exploding in the night
A#                   
  Falling to the city
    D#
in broad daylight


[Pre-chorus]
   D#
An angel in Devil's shoes
F
Salvation in the blues
