[Verse 1]
(Main Riff)
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
(Main Riff)
They look at life with such disregard
            E                        F#m
They say it can't be won The way the game is run
           E                                   F#m
But if you choose to stay   You end up playing anyway
A (Riff #2) D
It's o -   kay--

(Main Riff)   (Main Riff)

[Verse 2]
(Main Riff)
The kid's in shock up and down the block
(Main Riff)
The folks are home playing beat the clock
            E                       F#m
Down at the golden cup They set the young ones up
          E                  F#m
Under the neon light Selling day for night
A (Riff #2) D
It's  al -  right


(Riff #3 on next 4 lines)
G      D         E
Nobody rides for free
G      D                 E
Nobody gets it like they want it to be
G      D             E
Nobody hands you any guarantee
G      D    E
   Nobody

(Main Riff)       (Main Riff)
Nobody Baby        Nobody

[Verse 3]
(Main Riff)
The hearts are hard and the times are tough
(Main Riff)
Down on the boulevard the night's enough
E                                F#m
And time passes slow Between the store front shadows and the street lights glow
E                                     F#m
Everybody walks right by like they're safe or something
A (Riff #2) D
They  don't know--

(Riff #3 on next 4 lines)
G       D     E
Nobody knows you
G       D       E
Nobody owes you nothin’
G       D                     E
Nobody shows you what they're thinking
G       D     E
Nobody


(Main Riff)
Hey, hey,  baby You got to watch the street, keep your feet  And be on guard
(Main Riff)
Take it Easy Baby       It's only time on the boulevard
(Main Riff)
It’s a matter of time     On the Boulevard
(Main Riff)
On the Boulevard
