[Verse 1]
G            D                     A  D
 Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
                  G                D
He looks out a window without glass
A D        G                     D
   And the walls are made of cardboard,
    A             D
newspapers on his feet
                         G                         D
And his father beats him because he's too tired to beg

[Verse 2]
A D              G                    D
   He's got nine brothers and sisters,
        A                   D
They're brought up on their knees
             G                      D                A     D
It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
            G              D    A                  D
Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
                  G
But that's a slim chance,
     D
he's going to the boulevard

[Chorus]
A
D                  G D       A          D
 He's going to end up on the dirty boulevard
              G D            A        D
He's going out  to the dirty boulevard
               G D            A        D
He's going down  to the dirty boulevard

[Verse 3]
G D A
D     G                      D
 This room cost two thousand dollars a month,
        A                    D
You can believe it man, it's true
                G                       D
Somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
A
D             G              D                   A      D
 No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
                  G                     D
They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard

[Verse 4]
A D             G            D
   Give me your hungry, your tired,
         A         D
your poorI'll piss on 'em
                G              D A D
That's what the Statue of Bigotry   says
G                 D
Your poor huddled masses,
                 A
let's club 'em to death
D                                  G               D
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

[Chorus]
       G D             A       D
Get 'em  out on the dirty boulevard
     G D             A       D
Going  out to the dirty boulevard
             G D              A       D
They're going  down on the dirty boulevard
     G D A D
Going

[Verse 5]
G
 out
             D
Outside it's a bright night,
        A              D
there's an opera at Lincoln Center
  G                D       A
Movie stars arrive by limousine
G                      D                   A        D
The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
               G              D   A
But the lights are out on the mean
D
 streets

[Verse 6]
        G                    D       A D
A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tun_nel
                 G              D A
He's selling plastic roses for a
D
 buck
              G                   D    A
The traffic's backed up to thirty ninth
D
 Street
       G                      D             A
The TV whores are calling the cops out for a
D
 suck

[Verse 7]
            G
And back at the Wilshire,
D                A    D
Pedro sits there dreaming
                  G             D      A
He's found a book on magic in a garbage
D
 can
                G            D                A
He looks at the pictures and stares up at the cracked
   D
ceiling
                 G
"At the count of three," he says,
   D               A D
"I hope I can disap_pear"

[Chorus]
               G
"And fly, fly away,
D          A          D
 from this dirty boulevard
          G   D         A        D
I want to fly, from the dirty boulevard
         G D
I want to   fly,
     A            D
from the dirty boulevard
       G                D
I want to fly, fly, fly, fly,
     A            D
from the dirty boulevard"

[Outro]
        G       D
"I want to fly away
          G  D A D
I want to fly
          G  D A D
Fly, fly away
          G  D A D
I want to fly
          G  D A D
Fly, fly away
     G   D A D
Fly, fly,     fly
         G D
Fly, fly away
Fly a
