(riff 1) C                                   G
Come see the vampires of New York, a-ah
(riff 1) C                                      G
Come lose your mind in Central Park, a-ah
C       G
But don't leave your soul behind, a-ah

(riff 1) C                                    G
Come take in 8th street after dark, a-ah
(riff 1) C                                    G
Such peculiar people you'll remark, a-ah
C       G
You might even see a murder, a-ah


F                  G
And all the whores on Bleecker Street
C
They wear the blissful grin
F             G
Caused by the drugs they take
C                            G
To relieve them of their sins, ah-oh

C  Am               G
And "Oh-oh lord I think she's dying"
C  Am              G
I heard somebody say, I think she's dying
C Am              G
And "Oh, oh lord I think she's dying"


(riff 1) C
Or, maybe she's already dead
G
and maybe she's gone to Mars.
C
Maybe we could even write her epitaph
G
in the stars.
C          G
It'd say "If you go away from here...
C            G
if you go a million miles..."
F    C   G
Come downtown
F   C    G
to see them go


(riff 1)  C                                 G
Into the den of the vampires of New York ha-hah

But please watch your step as you're
C
getting off kids.
