Manhattan Island Serenade
Leon Russell
[Verse I]
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.
