Bright lights, the big city, went straight to my baby's head.
E MajorE         G# minorG#m      F# minorF#m       BB
She never listened to a word of what her daddy said.
   E MajorE               C# minorC#m        E MajorE
The music and the parties and the laughter turned her on.
E MajorE              C# minorC#m
She lost herself in running
  F# minorF#m   BB    E MajorE
And all we had was gone.

Bottles are all empty and we sang an awful song.

Thank the lord that New York City people love the strong.
  E MajorE                 C# minorC#m      E MajorE
I think of all the good times when my cup has overflowed.

Ain't it funny, baby

That we've taken different roads.

Though this country soul of mine I knew right from the start.
   E MajorE                C# minorC#m      E MajorE
The Saints of stone are lonely in the old cathedral hall.
E MajorE          C# minorC#m         A augmentedA    BB    E MajorE
Perhaps they knew before the rest that I had to leave it all.
