A G D
The willow in the wind is gently weeping
A G D
No city lights tonight for she is sleeping
A D G A
But in a little while she will awake and gently smile
[Chorus]
D G Em A D
My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning
[Verse 2]
A G D
Somewhere a siren sounds and she is turning
A G D
She moves my arm around 'cause she is burning
A D G A
She has so much to give but so little time to live
[Chorus]
D G Em A D
My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning
[Instrumental]
A G D x2
[Verse 3]
A G D
As I look down the streets are slowly forming
A G D
And the ladies of the night have start performing
A G D
And the trash-collectors horn salutes the dawning
A G D
And soon the workward bound will they wake up yawning
A G D
And soft warm hands behind that give no warning
A G D
Tell me, for just one hour have I been learning
A D G A
I have so much to say but so little time to stay
[Chorus]
D G Em A D
With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning
D G Em A D
With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning
