G D7
Daylight Monday morning turning off the Great White Way
 
G
Through the smoke and haze the city starts its day
 
C
It’s a day to day survival in the battle zone
 
D7 G
And a blue jungle with you gone
 
C
It’s a blue jungle with you gone
 
D7 G
It’s a cold empty city when you walk these streets alone
 
C Am
Like a world past is screaming when you hear the whistle moan
 
D7 G
And a blue jungle with you gone
 
D7
The weekend party’s over and I’m sober once again
 
G
And it’s hard to face the world without my friends
 
C
And it’s a dog eat dog existence just to make it all alone
 
D7 G
And a blue jungle with you gone
 
C
It’s a blue jungle with you gone
 
D7 G
It’s a cold empty city when you walk these streets alone
 
C Am
Like a world past is screaming when you hear the whistle moan
 
D7 G
It’s a blue jungle with you gone
 
C D7 G
It’s a blue jungle with you gone
