verse 1
E Bm
When it rains, the streets of Chicago
F#m Am B
shine like jewels, though it's just broken glass
E Bm
When the sun shines, dirty pigeons
F#m Am B
coo like doves in the dy - ing trees
INTERLUDE 1

G#m C#m
And the drunks going through the gar - bage
G#m C#m
in the al - ley behind my house
C E
smile up at the falling buil - dings,
Am C E
so bittersweet like crying clowns

And through the cars, boun - cing over puddles

Children weave on sto - len bikes

The vacant lots are full of old men
F#m Am B
sear - ching for nine - teen twenty-five
INTERLUDE 3

G#m C#m
And in the parks, lonely wo - men
G#m G# C#m
tossing bread to the rabid dogs
C E
smile up at the passing air - planes
Am C E
as if the sky were full of snow-white swans
