INTRO: GDEmCGDCGDEm
I saw them standing in the rain
C
Out on 7th Avenue
GD
He held her close, like she might fall
C
If he let go
GD
He helped her in, he shut the door
EmC
And our eyes met in the mirror
GD
"To Englewood, just take it slow"
GCG
Was all he said
CHORUS:
CEm
Into the stream, we pulled away
DC
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
GC
Catching green lights all the way
GDEm
Up Amsterdam, the meter dark
C
I turned off the radio
GD
She whispered, "Thanks, I could not bear
CGC
Another word."
GDEm
Out on the bridge, the traffic slowed
C
The brake-lights and the wash
GD
Of all those truckers heading south
GCG
On Ninety-Five
CHORUS:
CEm
Across the Strand, we pulled away
DC
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
GC
Catching green lights all the way
DEmCE|bro| ught them home, I brought them home---GDG
I brought them home in that cruel, cruel rain
INTERLUDE: D Em C G D C
GDEm
And now it's spring, and where's the rain?
C
All the wells are running dry
GD
And the reservoirs have reached
C
An all-time low
GDEm
And if this red light ever turns
C
If I can make it through the park
GD
I'll head uptown for the last
GCG
Fare of the day
CHORUS:
CEm
And turn it does, I pull away
DC
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
GC
Catching green lights all the way
GDEm
And there they are, outside St. Luke's
C
With their flowers and balloons
GD
All amazement at the baby
C
In her arms
GDEm
As Amsterdam makes us a place
C
I ask about her name
GD
We all laugh when he says, "Hope"
G
And she says, "Grace"
CHORUS:
CEm
And then it starts, the heavens give
DC
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
GC
Catching green lights all the way
DEmCE|bro| ught them home, I brought them home---GDEmDC
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
GDGCG
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
