CAPO 1

VERSE 1

G+G       D/F#D/F#          E MajorE
New York City spread herself before you
     C majorC        G+G        D/F#D/F#
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars

G+G     D/F#D/F#        E MajorE
You were impressed with the city so undressed
  C majorC       D MajorD        G+G
You had to go out cruising all the bars

Your business trip extended through the weekend
C majorC       G+G         D/F#D/F#
Suburban boy here for your first time
    G+G   D/F#D/F#  E MajorE
From the 27th floor above the midtown roar
     C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime

And to her you're just another guy

G+G       D/F#D/F#      E MajorE
Look down and see her ruined places
C majorC          G+G       D MajorD
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
