[Verse 1]
F                     Dm
Tear drops on the city

Bad Scooter searching for his groove
                          Bb              Gm
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
Bb                                 Gm     F Dm
And you can't find the room to move
  C
Well everybody better move over, that's all
Bb
I'm running on the bad side
C
And I got my back to the wall

[Chorus]
F Dm F Dm

        Dm       F     Dm
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out

[Verse 2]
F              Dm
I'm stranded in the jungle

Taking all the heat they was giving
Bb                Gm
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
Bb                     Gm                       F           Dm
And lined with the light of the living
C
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
                              Bb
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast
C
She hit me with a

[Chorus]
F       Dm                                          F       Dm
Tenth Avenue freeze-out           Tenth Avenue freeze-out

[Bridge]
D(9)  Dm    C(9)   C     Bb    Bb(9)
And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
(Horns Part)
(And kid you better get the picture)
D(9) Dm C(9) C   Bb     Bb(9)
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
                                  F     Dm
And I can't go home

[Verse 3]
F                Dm
When the change was made uptown

And the Big Man joined the band
Bb                             Gm
From the coastline to the city
Bb                Gm                                F        Dm
All the little pretties raise their hands
C
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
Bb                                                  C
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half

[Chorus]
F     Dm
With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out,

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

(Repeat, ad lib, and fade)
