Billy, he's down by the railroad track, sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac,
A     F#m     Bm7    Asus   A   F#m   Bm7    Asus
Diamond Jackie, she's so intact, as she falls so softly beneath him,
     Bm7               F#m7
Jackie's heels are stacked, Billy's got cleats on his boots,
             Bm7                 F#m7
Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the loot,
    Bm7               D              Esus      E
It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute, it's a mad dog's promenade,
     A F#m Bm7     Asus       A F#m7 Bm7 Asus
So walk tall,   or better don't walk at all.

   A   F#m           Bm            D
Fish lady, fish lady, fish lady she baits them tenement walls,
      A              F#m        Bm   D
She won't take cornerboys, ain't got no money, and they're so easy,
       A              F#m          Bm D
I said, "Hey baby won't you take my hand, walk me down Broadway,
   A                F#m              Bm
I'm a young man and I talk real loud, yeah, baby walk real proud for you.
D             A                   F#m
So shake it away, so shake away your street life, shake away your city life,
  Bm          D              A    F#m       Bm           D
And hook up to the train, hook up to the night train, hook it up hook up to the, hook up to the train,



           Bm              F#m
But I know that she won't take the train, no she won't take the train,
    Bm              F#m
No she won't take the train, no she won't take the train
    Bm              F#m
No she won't take the train, no she won't take the train
    Bm              F#m
No she won't take the train, no she won't take the train
    D
She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down,
       Esus         E
And when she turns this boy'll be gone
   A   F#m          Bm7   Asus A F#m Bm7 Asus
So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on.



   A         F#m   Bm7       Asus
Hey vibes man, hey jazz man play me your serenade
A      F#m               Bm7  Asus
Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave
     Bm7              F#m7
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy,
     Bm7               F#m7
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy,
      Bm7                      D
Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can
     Esus      E
Listen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,

Listen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,
    A   F#m     Bm7     Asus      A   F#m
He's singin' (singin'), He's singin' (singin'), He's singin'
       Bm7              Asus
All dressed up in satin, walkin' down the alley.
    A    F#m   Bm7    Asus .....repeat fo fade out
He's singin', singin', singin', singin',

Watch out for you junk man, watch out for your junk man,

Watch out for your junk man.
