Broadway Capo 1
[Intro]  
D G A D G A
[Verse 1]
 DI stood on Gfaith, and the Acorner of Dambition
 I came here to Gsink or swim, Aand to show them Dall
 That they were Gwrong, and though I Anever thought I'd make it this far
 So the Dcurtains are Gdown, for the Amoment I was Dsomeone
 There were those in the Gwings who waAited, who came this Dway, now they're Ggone.  
 But there's Aalways someone at home who never forgets who yoDu are.
[Chorus]
 And when I'm Adown and I'm growin' old, I won't be Bmalong no railroad track
 I won't be Ebound to a E7life out in the Acold
 It's been a Dsteady pace, to F#keep my steps bGetween these cracks on EBroadway
 And my  Gstride in rhythm to the Abeat of home sweet Dhome.
[Break]
D G A D G A     D G A D G A D
[Chorus]
 And when I'm Adown and I'm growin' old, I won't be Bmalong no railroad track
 I won't be Ebound to a E7life out in the Acold
 It's been a Dsteady pace, to F#keep my steps bGetween these cracks on EBroadway
[Bridge]
 And my Gstride in rhythm to the Abeat of home sweet BmCan't go on, I'm on the Gtop
 of my better years.  BmI'm going home.  It's too Elonesome on the bottom rung Ahere
