1.They say the neon lights are bright on Broad - way  
they say there's always magic in the air   
but when you're walkin' down the street, 
and you ain't had enough to eat_____
the glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere.   
(intro riff)
2.They say the women all treat you fine on Broad - way  
but lookin' at them just gives me the blues_____  
How ya gonna make some time, 
when all you got is one thin dime_______
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes.   
3. (guitar solo) (use intro riff during A-G parts, make up
your own on the D-C-E parts)
4.They say that I won't last too long on Broad - way  
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say   
but they're dead wrong, I know they are 
cause I can play this here guitar______
I won't quit till I'm a star on Broad - way____  
ending - A G chords over Neil's crazy ad lib.
On Broad_________way
All chords shown are open, though for the ending he uses
Barre A & G. For the riff, just finger the open A chord
on & off. Let the note on e string ring out and mute somewhat
the last 4 notes. Any corrections, additions welcome.
