G D
in the city , she wakes , before the break of day ,

Am C
she’d burn the city down , she’d burn it all for love

G D
can you see the people , staring at the steeples
Am C
wondering why they’re so lonely , so lonely?
G D
can you hear their voices , joining in a chorus ,

G D

she made a big debut on fifth avenue ,
Am C
then the village voice review took the fire from her eyes

G D
can you see the people , staring at the steeples

verse :
G D
we’re walking right beside the ones we used to fight ,
Am Em
the flag is waving white , the flag is waving white ,
G D
we see for the first time , when we stop the fight ,
Am C
the flag is waving white , the flag is waving white

chorus :
G D
can you see the people , staring at the steeples
