Cold Hands From New York
Gordon Lightfoot
D
INTRO:
GVERSE 1:
I came down to Albany
F
To New York, to find what I'd been missing
G
I looked across the river to
F
The city where the windows all stood glistening
Em
I stood listeningVERSE 2:
G Into a tunnel I did ride F Like a grave inside, but I was young and able G When I came out the other end F Through the smoke the winter light was feeble Em Unreadable
VERSE 3:
G I was optimistic though F A cabbie told me where to go, I thanked him G A face of white a face of brown F Here a smile, there a look of danger Em For a stranger
CHORUS 1:
Dm It was too unreal for me Em I found no one who trusted me F There was no man could offer me G F Em A cold hand from New York______
CHORUS 2:
G Cold hands from New York F A voice within you cries G "Won't someone please help me" I'll do the same for you one day F G Em A7 F D D7 If you should ever pass my way and need me
VERSE 4:
G I came down to live alone F In New York, the city of the living G There were fortunes at my feet F But most of men were taking, none were giving Em Or forgiving
VERSE 5:
G Children ran and children played F And roses grew in alleyways, I saw them G There were men who lived in style F And others who had died where no one knew them Em 'Because they couldn't win
VERSE 6:
G There were parks where old men slept F And dingy rooms where babies crept, unwanted G 'Til I began to ask myself F If there was hope or if it mattered what they did Em Or if they lived
CHORUS 1:
Dm It was too unreal for me Em I found no one who trusted me F There was no man could offer me G F Em A cold hand from New York______
CHORUS 2:
G Cold hands from New York F A voice within you cries G "Won't someone please help me" I'll do the same for you one day F G Em A7 F D D7 If you should ever pass my way and need me
VERSE 7:
G I came down to Albany F To New York, to find what I'd been missing G I looked across the river to F The city where the windows all stood glistening Em I stood listening
VERSE 8:
G There were prophets in the squares F And people there who smiled and said forget it G There were lovers in the park F And there was danger in the dark, I felt it Em So afraid of it
VERSE 9:
G There were preachers of the word F And poets who were never heard, I heard them G There were those who would not try F To learn the measure of the lie Em They're living
VERSE 10:
G I heard a young musician play F In a place where they paid you not to listen G I heard a woman scream for help F While men stood by and offered their best wishes Em That's how it is
CHORUS 1:
Dm It was too unreal for me Em I found no one who trusted me F There was no man could offer me G F Em A cold hand from New York______
CHORUS 2:
G Cold hands from New York F A voice within you cries G "Won't someone please help me" I'll do the same for you one day F G If you should ever pass my way and need me
CHORUS 2:
Cold hands from New York
F
A voice within you cries
G
"Won't someone please help me"
I'll do the same for you one day
F G
If you should ever pass my way and need meCHORUS 2:
Cold hands from New York
F
A voice within you cries
G
"Won't someone please help me"
I'll do the same for you one day
F G Em A7 F D D7
If you should ever pass my way and need me
