[Intro]
G C G

G             D          C           G
Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
       D          D7         G           Em
Like a shroud        it covers Bleecker Street
          Bm               C
Fills the alleys where men sleep
          G           D/F#           Em
Hides the shepherd         from the sheep

G C G

G      D             C       G
Voices leaking from a sad cafe
       D          D7         G              Em
Smiling faces         try to understand
          Bm            C
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
   G      D/F#      Em
On Bleecker         Street

G C G

G      D     C             G
A poet reads his crooked rhyme
       D     D7      G              Em
Holy, holy       is his sacrament
       Bm               C
Thirty dollars pays your rent
   G    D/F#         Em  
On Bleecker          Street

G C Gx3

G         D          C        G
I heard a church bell softly chime
     D         D7    G            Em
In a melody        sustainin'
       Bm           C
It's a long road to Canaan
   G    D/F#         Em
On Bleecker          Street
Huming in the same chords as the verse

   G    D/F#         Em   
On Bleecker          Street
