NEW YORK
tabbed by Brandon Leniart (leniart@juno.com)
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.
(Intro)

(Verse with delay and some tremelo. This is a rough guide, as it varies
greatly throughout the song, and could be played in a number of ways.)

3-7---------------------7----------7-------7------------------------------------7---

(this comes in and also varies greatly during the song. It follows a
A-G-C-G progression.)

Tab By Filippo Donati
Album: All that you can't leave behind
The first riff that edge play is
With chorus:
e----------0----------0-----------------0----------0----------0-------------0---
B-----5---------5-----------5-----3----------s8---------8-----------3-----------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And then when Bono started Edge changed in this:
e----0---0---0---0---0---------0---------0----------0----------0---------0----
B----5---5---5---5---5----3---------3----------8---------8----------3---------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now in the chorus, Edge with distorsion:
 A5G5C
D-----7---7----         D----5---5------      D----5----5------
A-----7---7----         A----5---5------      A----3----3------
E-----5---5----         E----3---3------      E----3----3------

And after, during the rock moment:
e---------------------------------------------------------------------
B-------8----10----12----10--s--8--------8----10----12-----10---------
G----9------------------------------9----------------------------9----
D---------------------------------------------------------------------

The chords are in every moment:
A, G, C.
In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices
Voices on the cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York, just got a place in New York
In New York summers get hot
Well into the hundreds
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
New York, New York
In New York you can forget
Forget how to sit still
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
New York, New York
New York, 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
New York, New York
New York, New York
n the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice a-whispering
Come away child
New York, New York
For any question sen me at
