(riff 1) C G

Come see the vampires of New York, a-ah

(riff 1) C G

Come lose your mind in Central Park, a-ah

C G

But don't leave your soul behind, a-ah

(riff 1) C G

Come take in 8th street after dark, a-ah

(riff 1) C G

Such peculiar people you'll remark, a-ah

C G

You might even see a murder, a-ah

F G

And all the whores on Bleecker Street

C

They wear the blissful grin

F G

Caused by the drugs they take

C G

To relieve them of their sins, ah-oh

C Am G

And "Oh-oh lord I think she's dying"

C Am G

I heard somebody say, I think she's dying

C Am G

And "Oh, oh lord I think she's dying"

(riff 1) C

Or, maybe she's already dead

G

and maybe she's gone to Mars.

C

Maybe we could even write her epitaph

G

in the stars.

C G

It'd say "If you go away from here...

C G

if you go a million miles..."

F C G

Come downtown

F C G

to see them go

(riff 1) C G

Into the den of the vampires of New York ha-hah

But please watch your step as you're

C

getting off kids.
