Broadway Melody of 1974 — Genesis
Chords and lyrics for Broadway Melody of 1974 by Genesis (key of C#).
Verse
[F]Echoes of the Broadway [Faug]Everglades,
With her [Bbm]mythical madonnas[Db] still [F]walking in their shades:
[F]Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and [Faug]plays his other hand.
[Bbm]Marshall Mcluhan, casual [Db]viewin', head [F]buried in the sand.
[F]Sirens on the [F7]rooftops wailing,[Bbm] but there's no [Db]ship [Eb]sailing.
[F]Groucho, with[F7] his movies trailing, [Bbm]stands alone [Db]with his punchline,
[Eb][F]failing.
Verse
[F]Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food, and the [Faug]band plays 'In the Mood'
The [Bbm]cheerleader waves her cyanide [Db]wand, there's a [F]smell of peach blossom
and bitter almonde.
[F]Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and [Faug]leads the parade
He [Bbm]knows, in a scent,[Db] you can [F]bottle all you made.
There's [F]Howard Hughes [F7]in blue suede shoes, [Bbm]smiling at the [Db]majorettes
smoking [Eb]Winston Cigarettes.
[F] [F7] And as the [Bbm]song and dance [Db]begins,[Eb] the [F]children play at home
with [Bb]needles; [C]needles and [D]pins.
