[Verse]
A     F#m              Bm       D     
Billy he's down by the railroad tracks
A                  F#m       Bm     Bm7      D
Sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac 
A F#m            F#m7 Bm7            
 Diamond Jackie     she's so intact
D        A     E  F#m7           Bm7
 As she falls so softly beneath him
D                    Bm     
 Jackie's heels are stacked
                   F#m          F#m7
Billy's got cleats on his boots    
F#m                        Bm7           Bm       Bm7
   Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway   
                   F#m      F#m7 F#m
And come back home with the loot   
              Bm7         
It's midnight in Manhattan
Bm D                  Bm7     
  This is no time to get cute
                 E7       
It's a mad dog's promenade


[Solo]
        A

She won't take corner boys
     F#m                      Bm7     D
They got no money and they're so easy 
       A                                       F#m7

   A                          
So shake away your street life

[Solo]
                  D                             
She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down
                   E                    
And when she turns  this boy'll be gone
