[G#]          [F#]   [G#]         [F#]        [G#]   [F#] [G#] [F#]
They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walkin' down that street
              [C#]     [D]     [D#]
And you ain't had enough to eat
[G#]          [F#]   [G#]         [F#]        [G#]   [F#] [G#] [F#]

They say the girls are something else on Broadway
[A]             [G]   [A]   [G]           [A]  [G] [A] [G]

'Cause how ya gonna make some time
             [C]     [D]       [E]

[A]           [G]         [A]   [G]         [A]  [G] [A] [G]
