[Intro]
D A D
G D A D
G D A D
G D A D
[Verse 1]
G           D          A        D
Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
G        D            A       D
He looks out a window without glass
G                     D              A             D
The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
G              D                     A            D
And his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg
[Verse 2]
     G                  D                A                   D
He's got 9 brothers and sisters, they're brought up on their knees
     G           D                  A                D
It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
G               D               A               D
Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
G                 D           A                 D
But that's a slim chance he's going to the boulevard
[Chorus]
G             D              A          D
He's going to end up, on the dirty boulevard
G           D          A          D
He's going out, to the dirty boulevard
G           D           A          D
He's going down, to the dirty boulevard
G D A D
[Verse 3]
G              D                              A                   D
This room cost 2,000 dollars a month, you can believe it man it's true
G           D                   A                D
Somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
G                D                   A            D
No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
G             D              A          D
They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard
[Verse 4]
G            D                        A                  D
Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em
G               D         A       D
That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
G                 D             A           D
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
G               D                      A           D
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
[Chorus]
G      D           A          D
Get em out, on the dirty boulevard
G     D           A          D
Going out, to the dirty boulevard
G             D            A          D
They're going down, on the dirty boulevard
G           D          A        D
Going out...
[Verse 5]
G              D                        A                   D
Outside it's a bright night, there's an opera at Lincoln Center
G           D      A       D
Movie stars arrive by limousine
G                D                 A             D
The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
G       D          A               D
But the lights are out on the mean streets
[Verse 6]
G           D      A                 D
A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel
G            D       A           D
He's selling plastic roses for a buck
    G         D         A       D
The traffic's backed up to 39th Street
    G             D           A              D
The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck
[Verse 7]
G               D               A          D
And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming
G            D             A            D
He's found a book on magic in a garbage can
G               D                   A                 D
He looks at the pictures and stares up at the cracked ceiling
        G            D                A          D
"At the count of 3," he says, "I hope I can disappear"
[Outro]
G           D               A          D
And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard
G         D             A          D
I want to fly, from the dirty boulevard
G         D             A          D
I want to fly, from the dirty boulevard
G         D                         A          D
I want to fly fly fly fly, from the dirty boulevard
[Denouement]
G           D          A        D
I want to fly away
G           D          A        D
I want to fly
G           D          A        D
Fly fly away-yay
G           D          A        D
I want to fly
G           D          A        D
Fly fly away (Fly a-)
G           D          A        D
Fly fly fly (-way, oh ah...)
G           D          A        D
Fly fly away (I want to fly fly away)
G           D          A        D
Fly away (I want to fly, wow woh, no, fly away)
