here is what I'd do:
I try to find all of the count lines and see which chapter numbers where
missing and then try to renumber the chapters accordinly
like this:
chapter 1 -> chapter 1
chapter 2 -> chapter 2
chapter 4 -> chapter 3
chapter 6 -> chapter 4

Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide,
The bums drop dead and the dogs go mad in packs on the West Side,
A young girl standing on a ledge, looks like another suicide,
She wants to hit those bricks,
'cause the news at six got to stick to a deadline,
While the millionaires hide in Beekman place,
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face,
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound,
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down...
