[Verse 1]
       Em(add9)                    
On the curb  of a city pavement, by
     C(add9)
 the ash    and garbage cans
       D(add9)                     
In the stench of rolling thunder of
 Em/C#            Em(add9)
 motor trucks and vans
      Em(add9)                  
There sits   a little lady with 
C(add9)
brave  but troubled eyes
    D(add9)                    
And in    her arms a baby that 
Em/C#               Em(add9)
cries and cries and cries

[Chorus]
    A7sus/G   A7/G                
She cannot be more than three, but
     Am7/G                Em(add9)
 the years go fast in the slums
Continúa después del anuncio
    A7sus/G              A7/G     
And hard on the pangs of winter's 
          Am7/G           Em(add9) 
cold, the pitiless summer comes
D(add9)


[Verse 2]
    Em(add9)                     
The wails of sickly children she 
C(add9)
knows, she understands
    D(add9)                      
The pangs    of puny bodies, the 
Em/C#                Em(add9)
clutch of small hard hands
    Em(add9)                    
The deadly blaze of August that 
C(add9)
turns men faint and mad,
    D(add9)                       
She quiets the peevish urchins by 
Em/C#                  Em(add9)
telling 'em dreams she had

[Chorus]
   A7sus/G         A7/G           
Of heaven with its marble stairs, 
    Am7/G            Em(add9)
and ice  and singing fans
    A7sus/G            A7/G   
And God   in white, so friendly 
              Am7/G               
there, just like the drug store 
Em(add9) D(add9)
man

[Interlude]

 Em(add9)

[Chorus]
   A7sus/G         A7/G           
Of heaven with its marble stairs, 
    Am7/G            Em(add9)
and ice  and singing fans
    A7sus/G            A7/G   
And God   in white, so friendly 
              Am7/G               
there, just like the drug store 
Em(add9) D(add9)
man

[Verse 3]
       Em(add9)                    
On the curb  of a city pavement, by
     C(add9)
 the ash    and garbage cans
       D(add9)                     
In the stench of rolling thunder of
 Em/C#            Em(add9)
 motor trucks and vans
      Em(add9)                  
There sits   a little lady with 
C(add9)
brave  but troubled eyes
    D(add9)                    
And in    her arms a baby that 
Em/C#               Em(add9)
cries and cries and cries

[Otro]
   Em(add9)                       
So when you're giving millions to 
C(add9)
Belgian, Pole, and Serb
  D(add9)                     
Remember my beautiful lady, 
Em/C#        Em(add9)
Madonna on the curb
   C(add9)   D(add9)   Em/C#  
Uh oh,    mm mm,    mm mm
