!!!Capo on 2nd Fret!!!

{E ,       Amaj7  }

Ooohh New York  (x2)

Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes

Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean,

If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that’s what they say

Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway

Pre-Ch:   G#

              Even if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams

C:  | Amaj7  | Amaj7 |  E  |  B  |

I’m from New York;  Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,

            There’s nothing you can’t do

Now you’re in New York, These streets will make you feel brand new

            Big lights will inspire you

   Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

E                                                        Amaj7

On the avenue, there ain’t never a curfew, ladies work so hard

Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God

Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge

Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Amaj7                                                                  

One hand in the air for the big city,

                                                    B

Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty,

                                        C#m  

No place in the world that can compare,

                                             G#

Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
