      D/E

Verse 1:

      D/E
      They told me the streets were all paved with gold
                                                      C#m7/E
      But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold
           G/A
      They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
      But how 'bout the one blinking in
                    C    E74 E7
      My room all night

Chorus:

                    C#m7 F#m7  Bm7         E
      And where's the magic in this magic town?
                  C#m7 F#m7      Bm7             E
      Where's the good life they said could be found?
                C#m7 F#m7  Bm7  /C# /D Ebm7-5            D/E
      Where's the magic to make all my  big  dreams come true
                 ( D/E )
      1: I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you (to verse 2)
                 ( D/E )                               A
      2: I gotta find it, girl    before I send for you (to piano solo)
               ( D/E )
      3: I gotta find it, girl, if it can be found
                               [N.C.]
         Before I bring you to (to coda)

Verse 2:

      They said in this town you get rich in no time
      But here I am and I'm down to my last dime
      I just don't know why I bother to try
      When nobody here gives a hang
      If I live or die

[repeat chorus]
