[Intro]
G C G D
G C G D

[Verse]
G C G D
Long Beach, early in the morning
G C G D
I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea
Em D C G
I'm with my little boy, he's not sleeping too well
C G/B Am G D
My little boy is a lot like me

[Verse]
G C G D
And I came home late from the city
G C G D
I was in the Village, having fun
Em D C G
All the queens were coming out on Christopher Street
C G/B Am G D
And a new age had begun

[Chorus]
C D G
I'm in a long line of lovers
C G/B Am G D
Who came to New York looking for the Muse
Em D C G
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street
C G/B Am G D
To pay for her dancing shoes

[Verse]
G C G D
I played the Gaslight and Gerde's Folk City
G C G D
The Bitter End and the occasional bar
Em D C G
I played the game of money and fame
C G/B Am G D
'Cause everybody wants to be a star

[Verse]
G C G D
And I had my share of intoxication
G C G D
I did a few drugs and drank too much Uncle Jack
Em D C G
But I stopped in time when I saw the signs
C G/B Am G D
And I knew I had to get back

[Chorus]
C D G
And I'm in a long line of lovers
C G/B Am G D
Who came to New York looking for the Muse
Em D C G
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street
C G/B Am G D
To pay for her dancing shoes
