Bruce Springsteen - NEW YORK CITY SERENADE (The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle)
Billy, he's down by the railroad tracks, sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac,
Diamond Jackie, she's so intact, she falls so softly beneath him,
Jackie's heels are stacked, Billy's got cleats on his boots,
Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the
loot,
It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute, it's a mad dog's promenade,
So walk tall, or baby don't walk at all.
Fish lady, fish lady, fish lady she baits them tenement walls,
She won't take cornerboys, ain't got no money, and they're so easy,
I said, "Hey baby won't you take my hand, walk me down Broadway,
I'm a young man and I talk real loud, yeah, baby walk real proud for you.
So shake it away, so shake away your street life, shake away your city life,
And hook up to the train, hook up to the night train, hook it up hook up to the, hook up to the train,
But I know that she won't take the train, no she won't take the train,
No she won't take the train, no she won't take the train
She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down,
And when she turns this boy'll be gone
So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on.
Hey vibes man, hey jazz man play me your serenade
Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy,
Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy,
Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can
Listen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,
Listen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,
He's singin', singin', singin', singin'.
All dressed up in satin, walkin' past the alley.
Watch out for you junk man, watch out for your junk man,
Watch out for your junk man.

Guillofucker is right, just remove the front of an upright (it should just slide off) and the strings are right in front of you. You can get a great effect picking chords that way :)

How ironic. This album was first released on September 11th 1973. He writes a song called "New York City Serenade". Forget ironic, that is just scarily coincidental. For me, this song goes out to those caught in the 9/11 events because you should be proud to be a New Yorker, despite what happened.

This is pure magic, talent. He's a genius. He was 22 or 23 when he wrote it, and he already played guitar like God, piano, harmonica, mandolin, flute...
He wrote these, long, imaginative jazz-pop-folk-rock songs, with his narrative lyrics, with all those changes... I haven't heard anything similar to his first three albums. And, besides, he developed many more styles later on from Darkness onwards... simply THE BOSS!!!

Extraordinary instrumental opening to this song. The images and mood it conjours are.....well, you'll know, because you'll feel them too.
