| This song has a lot going on in it, and it would be a 20 page tab if I |
| wrote out the whole thing. Hopefully this will give you a good idea of |
| how the song goes--it's in A minor. |

| The chords are in every moment: |
| In New York freedom looks like too many choices |
| In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices |
| Voices down the stairwell |
| In New York, just got a place in New York |
| In New York summers get hot |
| You can't walk around the block |
| Without a change of clothing |
| Hot as a hair dryer in your face |
| Hot as a handbag and a can of mace |
| In New York, I just got a place in New York |
| In New York you can forget |
| Tell yourself you will stay in |
| But it's down to Alphaville |
| New York, New York, New York |
| New York, New York, New York |
| The Irish have been coming here for years |
| Feel like they own the place |
| They got the airport, city hall, concrete |
| Asphalt, they even got the police |
| Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics |
| Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew, |
| Living happily not like me and you |
| That's where I lost you... New York |
| In New York I lost it all to you and your vices |
| Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis |
| I hit an iceberg in my life |
| But you know I'm still afloat |
| You lose your balance, lose your wife |
| In the queue for the lifeboat |
| You got to put the women and children first |
| But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York |
| n the stillness of the evening |
| When the sun has had its day |
| I heard your voice a-whispering |
| For any question sen me at |
