(riff 1) C G
Come see the vampires of New York, a-ah
(riff 1) C G
Come lose your mind in Central Park, a-ah
But don’t leave your soul behind, a-ah

(riff 1) C G
Come take in 8th street after dark, a-ah
(riff 1) C G
Such peculiar people you’ll remark, a-ah
You might even see a murder, a-ah

And all the whores on Bleecker Street
They wear the blissful grin
Caused by the drugs they take
To relieve them of their sins, ah-oh

And “Oh-oh lord I think she’s dying”
I heard somebody say, I think she’s dying
And “Oh, oh lord I think she’s dying”

(riff 1) C
Or, maybe she’s already dead
and maybe she’s gone to Mars.
Maybe we could even write her epitaph
in the stars.
It’d say “If you go away from here…
if you go a million miles…”
Come downtown
to see them go

(riff 1) C G
Into the den of the vampires of New York ha-hah
But please watch your step as you’re
getting off kids.

Christopher O’Malley went out on a bridge
Down in Chehalis
And clutching his bible and a letter from her
Fell into the river

Chorus:
Pity no one was there, no angels in the air
And the morning paper ran:
One more suicide, yeah

His mama stayed by the river side
Down in Chehalis
And clutching her bible and a letter from him
Fell into crying

(Chorus)

(Instrumental, play chords for verse)

(Chorus)

One more suicide, yeah
One more suicide, yeah.

Ancient Walls of Flowers

Marcy Playground
(S.Fraser,J.Wozniak)
Transcribed by Guido P. Merrell

(Acoustic guitar)

Ancient walls of flowers tumbling down

Black cat petals and a smiling clown

I like to keep them in a jar beside

Just enough to mess my mind inside

CHORUS:

But I never heard
You callin’ from the sun

Did you ever care
To shoot your silver gun

No I never heard
You callin’ from the moon

Did you ever care
To sing your free love tune

Ancient walls of wispers falling low

Murmur simmer and I’m feeling slow

Keep me up but keep me in my head

I’ll ping a pound of posies ‘til I’m dead

CHORUS:

Ancient walls of flowers tumblin’ down
Ancient walls of flowers tumblin’ down
Ancient walls of whispers tumblin’ down
Ancient walls are tumblin’ all over this town

There is also some bass accompanimet during the verse with
the E and G chords it is just and open E once and the E string
again twice on the 3rd fret before the G
