[Verse 1]
C F* C* C Am*
Here we sit in this place that's frozen in time,
G* C F* C* C Am* G*
where they turn the mighty Mississippi into sweet barley wine.
C F* C* C Am* G*
There's cracks in the sidewalk and clothes on the line
C F* G* C Am* G*
as we stroll hand in hand in this land that's frozen in time.
[Bridge]
F C
Graffiti tattoos cover faded brick walls
G Am
and the street people answer whenever you call.
F C
They raise their eyebrows each time I say, "Y'all"
G G
and they smile each time I say, "Friend"
[Chorus]
F* C* G* Am*
Somewhere off Broadway, St. Louis, Missouri
F* G* (C)
I fell in love once again.

[Verse 2]
C F* G* C Am* G*
All the red brick chimneys are puffing with smoke
C F* G* C Am* G*
as we head to the pub, and we spark up a toke.
C F* G* C Am* G*
And the night it's as black as a coal miner's coat.
[Bridge]
F* C* G* C*
We sing out of tune like an alley cat choir
F* C* G* C*
and cough through the laughter and tobacco fire.
F* C* G* C*
If tonight were a steeple, it couldn't sit higher,
Am* G* F F
this place that I hold in my heart for all of my friends.
[Chorus]
C F* C*
Somewhere off Broadway, St. Louis, Missouri
Am* G* C F* C* C
I fell in love once again.
Am* G* C F* C* C
I fell in love once again.
Am Am Am Am G G G G C N.C.
