Same old people begging quarters

■  Stretching out their hands
A7                    
Venders selling flores
       Dm      D7 
From a plastic can

All the homeless helpless ■  need a place to stay
A7                         
Asking you for spare change
Dm                 D7 
Don't know what to say
Gm                       Dm                                   
■  Gypsy play her melody ■  a broken tooth just smile so sweet
     A7                                 D7
It's the last tango on sixteenth Street ■ 
Gm       Gm7                     
Same old song I know you heard it
           Dm    
Many times before
A7                       Dm                 D7   
Why this life in poverty seems so much like a war
Gm                           
Just make sure you're careful
Dm                       
Where you place your feet

Some of them don't see so good ■  when they leave the bars
A7                   
Talking loud and ugly
Dm                D7  
Stepping from the cars
Gm                             Dm                    
■  If you're holding valuables ■  pays to be discrete
                A7            D7              
'cause it's the last tango on sixteenth Street
Gm                        Dm                         
Dodge between the hookers ■  aim between their thighs
A7                               
■  Full moon shines above the bay
Dm                          
You can see it in their eyes
Gm                         
Pass the Capp Street dogleg
Dm                         
Your heart might skip a bit
              A7            Dm              
When it's the last tango on sixteenth Street

It's the last tango on sixteenth Street ■
