Manhattan Island Serenade

Leon Russell


Tom: Em

Em                          Am
Sittin' on the highway in a broken van
B7               Em D C
Thinkin' of you again.
C                                   G
Guess I'll have to hitchhike to the station
C                              G     B7
With every step I'll see your face
Em                    Am
Like a mirror looking back at me
B7                     Em D C
Sayin' you're the only one
C                         G
Makin' me feel I could survive
C                  G  B7
and so glad to be alive

[Chorus]
G           D/F#          Em              D
Nowhere to run and not a guitar to play
C         B                    Am           C
Messed up inside and it's been raining all day
G         B7    Em    D    C
Since you went away
C          D         G     F#   Em
Manhattan Island serenade.
 
[Verse 2]
Em                          Am
Sittin' on the highway in a broken van
B7               Em D C
Thinkin' of you again.
C                                     G
Guess I'll have to hitchhike down the highway
C                              G     B7
With every step I'll see your face
Em                    Am
Like a mirror looking back at me
B7                     Em D C
Sayin' you're the only one
C                         G
Makin' me feel I could survive
C                  G  B7
and so glad to be alive

[Chorus]
G           D/F#         Em              D
Nowhere to run and not a guitar to play
C         B                    Am           C
Messed up inside and it's been raining all day
G         B7    Em    D    C
Since you went away
C          D         G    
Manhattan Island serenade
G         B7    Em    D    C
Since you went away
C          D         G    
Manhattan Island serenade.
