New York City Song

E

E                                          C#m           E
Bright lights, the big city, went straight to my baby's head.
E                 G#m           F#m             B
She never listened to a word of what her daddy said.
     E                             C#m                E
The music and the parties and the laughter turned her on.
E                           C#m
She lost herself in running
    F#m     B       E
And all we had was gone.

E                    A    E                A
That's the year my dream died in New York City.
E                  A                 B
That's the year I had to leave that town.
            E      A               E                A
That's the year, people, my dream died in New York City.
E                  A        B      E
That's the year I left without a sound.

E                             C#m           E
Bottles are all empty and we sang an awful song.
E                   G#m            F#m7             B
Thank the lord that New York City people love the strong.
   E                                  C#m           E
I think of all the good times when my cup has overflowed.
                    C#m
Ain't it funny, baby
            F#m   B          E
That we've taken different roads.

E                    A    E                A
That's the year my dream died in New York City.
E                  A                 B
That's the year I had to leave that town.
            E      A               E                A
That's the year, people, my dream died in New York City.
E                   A       B      E
That's the year I left without a sound.

E                                    C#m         E
There'll always be a little New York City in my heart
E                   G#m            F#m                   B
Though this country soul of mine I knew right from the start.
      E                               C#m            E
The Saints of stone are lonely in the old cathedral hall.
E                    C#m                  A       B       E
Perhaps they knew before the rest that I had to leave it all.

E                    A    E                A
That's the year my dream died in New York City.

That's the year, people, my dream died in New York City.
E                  F#m      B      E    A
That's the year I left without a sound.

    E                 A
My dream died in New York City.
E                 A   B
That's the year I...
E                   A     E                A
That's the year my dream died in New York City.
E                  A       B         E
That's the year I had to leave that town.
A  E  A  E  A  E
