Incident On 57Th Street

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


C     C/B  Am   C/B
Puerto Rican Jane
C C/B      Am      C/B        
oh won't you tell me what's your 
G
name
          C        C/B        
I want to drive you down to the 
Am            C/B
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                         
All them golden-heeled fairies in a
 C
 real bitch fight
                       G       
Pull thirty eights and kiss the 
           D
girls good night


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

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


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


           G                  
Johnny was sittin' on the fire 
       C                        
escape watchin' the kids playin' 
         D
down the street
               G                 
He called down Hey little heroes, 
         C
summer's long
But I guess it ain't very sweet 
       D
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                              
But opens her eyes to see Johnny up
    D
 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  
Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to 
                       D
make a little easy money tonight?

And Johnny whispered


CHORUS 2:
G               C        D
Good night, it's all tight Jane
     G                C

        D

       G                 C

        D

   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

          G                 C     
Oh we can find it out on the 
        D

   G            C               D
Or we may walk until the daylight 
maybe

   G               C        D
Ah Good night, it's all right Jane
     G                C       
I'll meet you tomorrow night on 
        D
Lover's Lane
           G                      
Now we may find it out on...on the
