New York chords by Ed Sheeran

Chords with lyrics

Capo 7/8
It's a bit tricky to get the hang of but it's easier if you listen to how he plays it
The asterisk next to some of the FF chords just means play it as a barre chord
The chords in brackets are sort of transition chords that are only played quickly

   C majorC   G+G   Am7Am7   FF

(Verse)

C majorC           (G+G) C majorC
Five drinks in, a Friday night
          G+G
we only came to dry your eyes
Am7Am7     FF       C majorC (G+G) C majorC
And get you out of your room
C majorC           (G+G) C majorC
Now this bars closed its doors
         G+G
I found my hand just holding yours
Am7Am7     FF       C majorC
Do you wanna go home so soon

(Pre chorus)

G+G                FF *    C majorC
Maybe we should take a ride through the night
   G+G      Am7Am7
Sing along to every song
        FF *  C majorC        G+G
Thats on the radio in the back of the taxi cab in brooklyn oh no no
F*     C majorC    G+G          Am7Am7
Sun could rise burning all the streetlamps out at 3am
FF *   C majorC    G+G
So dj play it again


(Chorus)

      C majorC      FF Am7Am7       G+G
Until the night turns into morning You'll be in my
C majorC     FF      Am7Am7 G+G
arms and we'll keep driving along the boulevard
C majorC    FF      Am7Am7  G+G
And if i kiss you darling, please dont be alarmed
FF *      G+G            C majorC
Its just the start of everything if you want
FF C majorC     G+G   (C majorC)   G+G
New love in New York   New York

(Verse)

C majorC       (G+G) C majorC
Yesterday gave me a call
       G+G
Stressing out about it all
Am7Am7   FF           C majorC (G+G) C majorC
Said The world is moving too fast
C majorC           (G+G) C majorC
You don't know where to begin
               G+G
cos you spent a lifetime fitting in
Am7Am7     FF       C majorC  G+G
Please Don't wind up on the other side by yourself

(Pre chorus)

 FF *       C majorC       G+G      Am7Am7
And There'll be days screaming out to all the people that you
FF        C majorC         G+G
used to know from your window that looks upon the manhattan skyline
F*      C majorC       G+G             Am7Am7
Its just the way that life goes And you hear it in every song you know
FF *   C majorC    G+G
So dj play it again

(Chorus)

      C majorC      FF Am7Am7       G+G
Until the night turns into morning Youll be in my

arms and we'll keep driving along the boulevard
C majorC    FF      Am7Am7  G+G
And if i kiss you darling, please dont be alarmed
