[Begin]
Dm7 G Dm7Walking down Madison - I swear I never had a gun
G Dm7No I never shot no-one - I was only having fun
G Dm7Walking down Madison - swear I never had a gun
G CI was philosophizing some - checking out the bums
[Verse]
Bbmaj7 CSee you give 'em your nickels, your pennies and dimes
Dm C F6 CBut you can't give 'em hope in these mercenary times, oh no
Bbmaj7 CAnd you feel real guilty about the coat on your back
Dm7 G F6 CAnd the sandwich you had, oh no
[Break]
| Dm7 G | Dm7 G |
[Chorus]
Bbmaj7 C6 CFrom an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
F Fmaj7/A It's not that far
Bbmaj7 C6 CFrom the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
F Fmaj7/A It's not that far
Bb CTo the bag lady frozen asleep on a church bed
F Fmaj7/A It's not that far
[Bridge]
Bbmaj7 C(Would you like to see some more?) I can show you if you'd like to
[Rapping]
| Dm7 G | Dm7 G | Dm7 G | Dm7 G |(throughout the rapping)
Within every city and town there's a Madison, frozen lives for whom nothing's happening
Hungry children is a mother's dilemma, dumpster diving to feed her baby Emma
So you walk on by like it doesn't affect you, the held out hand that you pay no respect to
Nickels and dimes won't even buy your guilt, another wino dead burnt to death in his quilt
It's a cardboard city, newspaper metropolis, the system can't cope or keep on top of this
The authorities come as you're not for display, Do they solve the problem no they move him away
They're in a vicious circle of no fixed abode, the social won't pay 'em the money they're owed
When you got no money you can't pay rent, hypothermia kills 'cos the system is bent
[Chorus]
Bbmaj7 C6 CFrom an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
F Fmaj7/A It's not that far
Bbmaj7 C6 CFrom the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
Bb CTo the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
F Fmaj7/AOn no, It's not that far
[Bridge]
Bbmaj7 C(Hey bro, you want to see some more?) I can show you if you'd like to
[End]
Bbmaj7 C6 C(Huh) From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
F Fmaj7/A It's not that far
