[Verse 1]
E             A E          B
I see a million   walk the city mile
E                   A E        B
The tickertape kings   and the juveniles
A                            E
Will anybody tell me   which way to go
A                              F#m    A   *
Will anybody come back   on the C.B. radio
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                     A E        B
I'm counting the stars   and the telegraph poles
E                      A E    B              *
And each one represents   the hopes of a soul
A                               E         **
You'd think that God   wouldn't be so hard
A                            F#m              A                ***
When you see all the little children running, running in the backyard
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                     A E       B
On a Mississippi gourd   with a Sub-Sahran song
E                  A E        B                    **
Somebody is wailing   in the financial district sun
A                              E
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
A                  F#m          A
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile

E                    A E        B
Gonna make like Eddie   on my rockabilly train
E                       A E        B
Gonna beat out the blues   on my ball and chain
A                                   E
Oh, you can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
A
There's people living now
         F#m                     A
who aint got no heart and ain't never had none
 
 
[Verse 5]
E                 A E           B
Down on the border   they crawl all the way
E                      A E       B                ****
To get a clip of living   with a clean-all spray
A                              E
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
A                  F#m          A
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile

[Verse 6]
E                        A E       B
I hear a payphone ringing   out on murder mile
E                      A E         B
The sucker who picks up   gets his number dialled
A                                 E
And all the sparkling waters that ever flowed
A                                  F#m            A
Could never wash down this town so clean that it glowed

And I need to see   in an x-ray style
E                   A E           B
I need some rock art   that don't come in a vial
A                              E
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
A                  F#m          A
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
