#1.
D MajorD   G+G    D MajorD    G+G     D MajorD     G+G
Didn't want the mayor to come..or a big brass band
  D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA
to greet me.
D MajorD  G+G     D MajorD     G+G       D MajorD
But then the reception I got..well, it wasn't what I
G+G   A augmentedA
had in mind.
G+G       A augmentedA   G+G        A augmentedA
People gawkin' at me, like I'm talkin' strange.
G+G        A augmentedA               D MajorD
Me, I ain't much better..cause I'm thinkin' the same.
G+G  A augmentedA
Hey, boy!

I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
G+G     D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.

#2.
D MajorD   G+G     D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA
Sayin' y'all and eatin' on grits..talkin' as slow as molasses.
D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD
And all the time, just pointing at me..and the hair growin'
G+G    A augmentedA
over my ears.

BRIDGE:
G+G        A augmentedA     G+G             A augmentedA
Gets my mind to wonderin', just who's right and who's wrong.
 G+G                A augmentedA
I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns, I'll get used
    D MajorD   G+G  A augmentedA
to the corn. Hey, boy!

CHORUS:
G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA     D MajorD
New York City, look at me now..
