[Verse]
C                 F         
The Rangers had a homecoming
   C           F         
In Harlem late last night
C                                 G       F
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine ■
C                       G    F
■ Over the Jersey state line ■
C                                           
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
F                         C           F   
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
              Dm        Am       Dm       
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
Am                        Dm Am     
Together they take a stab at romance
              F             C    F
And disappear down Flamingo Lane ■
C F          C                       F       
■ ■ Well the Maximum Lawmen run down Flamingo
                C                  F   
Chasing the Rat ■ and the barefoot girl
             C                           F      
And the kids 'round there live just like shadows
       C             G     F
Always quiet holding hands ■


[Chorus]
         C               F    
From the churches to the jails
               C              F    
Tonight all is silence in the world
      Dm       Am    Dm
As we take our stand ■ 
Am Dm      Gsus4     
■  Down in Jungleland
C Csus4 C F

[Verse]
C                   F        
The midnight gang's assembled
             C          G       F    
And picked a rendezvous for the night
        C                      F         
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
     C                     F    
That brings this fair city light
            C            G      F       
Man there's an opera out on the Turnpike
G         C            G                 F    
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
G           C     G    F          C              F    
■ Until the local cops CherryTops rips this holy night


[Chorus]
Dm           Em       F                    
The street's alive as secret debts are paid
G        Dm        Em    F     
Contacts made they flash unseen
G Dm         Em                F            G
■ Kids flash guitars just like switchblades ■
Dm               Em     F      
Hustling for the record machine
G Bb                       
■ The hungry and the hunted
C Dm                              
■ Explode into rock 'n' roll bands
Bb                                                
That face off against each other out in the street
C Dm   Gsus4 C         
■ Down in    Jungleland

[Chorus]
Bb                     F                        C          
In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
G                     Bb               
Inside the backstreet girls are dancing
       F                C       
To the records that the DJ plays
Bb                                           
Lonelyhearted lovers struggle in dark corners
F                      C       
Desperate as the night moves on
G               Bb                        C   
■ Just one look and a whisper and they're gone

[Verse]
Bb7     Eb                       Bb
Beneath the city two hearts beat ■ 
     C                       Bb                C
Soul engines running through a night so tender ■
Bb Abmaj7       Bb     Bb7    Abmaj7  
■  In a bedroom locked ■   in whispers
        Bb7 Eb      Bb       Ab        Bb
Of soft ■   refusal and then surrender ■ 
Bb7    Eb      Bb         Eb                       G   
In the tunnels uptown the Rat's own dream guns him down
Bb    C               G    Bb              G     C G
■  As shots echo down them hallways in the night ■ ■
Bb Ab                      Bb                   Ab
■  No one watches when the ambulance pulls away ■ 
Bb7   C                      G       C     G7
Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light ■ 


[Chorus]
            Dm       Em Em7  Em   F          Gsus4
Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
G                      Dm  C      F      
■ Between what's flesh and what's fantasy
G         Dm         C                F             
■ And the poets down here don't write nothing at all
          Dm             Em         F 
They just stand back and let it all be
Bb                                                     
And in the quick of a knife they reach for their moment
                          Dm   
And try to make an honest stand
                 Bb                   
But they wind up wounded not even dead
Dm7        Gsus4     
Tonight in Jungleland
