It's so nice to be sitting outside
C#
With you on my mind
F# G# C#
Late in the day, I hitched a ride
G# C#
With you on my mind
G# F#
I hitched a ride
G# C# G#
In the green park ranger's truck
C# G# F#
He slowed down when he passed me up
G# C# G#
He said, "Central Park, says it might rain"
C# G# F# G#
And I learn another stranger's name
C# F# G# C#
Late in the day, aha, aha
F# G# C# G#
"So, how do you like your job", I said
C# G# F#
He told me once, "It's no good
G# C# G#
I lock up the playgrounds, here in the park
C# G# F#
I am the bully of New York
G# C# G# F# Fm
Yeah, I am the bully of New York"
CHORUS:
C# Fm
"It's getting dark
C# A#m
F#m C#
The kids all think I'm being mean
G# F#
It's not easy for me"
G# C# G#
"Working nights, I'm never home
C# G# F#
My love and I got divorced
G# C# G#
There's a path of light there in the leaves
C# G# F#
I am a man down on my knees
G# C# G# F# Fm
Yeah, I am a man down on my knees"
CHORUS:
C# Fm
"It's getting dark
C# A#m
F#m C#
The kids all think I'm being mean
G# F#
It's not easy for me, no"

The sun was sinking low and grey

Late in the day, late in the day
