E             B           A          E
Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
       F#m   B7           E         C#m
Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street
          G#7                 A
Fills the alleys where men sleep
            E   B            C#m
Hides the shepherd from the sheep

Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On Bleecker Street

A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy, holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On Bleecker Street

I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustaining
It's a long road to Canaan
On Bleecker Street

Mmm
Ooh
Ooh
Bleecker Street
