Verse
A     F#m               Bm              D
Billy, he's down by the railroad tracks
   A               F#m              Bm        D
Sitting low in the back seat of his cadillac
A       F#m          Bm        D
Diamond Jackie she's so intact
       A        F#m      Bm        D
As she falls so softly beneath him
         Bm
Jackie's heels are stacked
            F#m
Billy's got cleats on his boots
                 Bm
Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway
              F#m
And come back home with their loot
     Bm
It's midnight in Manhattan
           D
This is no time to get cute
           E
It's a mad dogs promenade
        A    F#m   Bm
So walk tall
D                          A  F#m  Bm  D
Or baby, don't walk at all

           A                            F#m
She wont take corner boys, ain't got no money
            Bm      D
And they're so easy
           A
I said hey babe, ah really

          A               F#m                         Bm    D 
Oh, mama, take my arm and move with me down Broadway, yeah

    D
Ah, so shake it away
          A                                     F#m
So shake away your street life, shake away your city life
    Bm
And hook up to the train
    D
Ah, hook up to the night train
A       F#m               Bm                      D
Hook it up, hook up to the...hook up to the train

         F#m

       D
She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down

And when she turns this boy'll be gone

Any deeper blues, you'll be playing in your grave
          Bm
Save your notes
                             F#m
Don't spend 'em on the blues boy
          Bm
Save your notes
                          F#m
Don't spend 'em on the darlin' year inside, boy
                        Bm
Straight for the church note ringin'
                  D
Vibes man sting a trashcan

Listen to your junk man, ah, listen to your junk man
          E
listen to your junk man, oh, listen to your junk man
