New York is my Home by Dion and Paul Simon

Intro:

Em


Verse 1:

 Em
The morning came today,
          Am
With rain and sheets of grey,
        Em
The subway rocked me out of bed,
        C    Em
To take me on my way.
G        Bm
Where’er I go I go in style,
          Em
Each and every mile,
          C        D
You know, I’m not alone,
          G      C    G
New York is my home.

Verse 2:

      Em
I got a girl up in the Proms,
          Am
She treats me like a king,
          Em
I’ll give her anything she wants,
        C  Em
She is my everything.
      G        Bm
She can be hard as concrete,
             Em
Soft as a summer breeze,
     C           D
We can wake the dark,
          G
New York is my home.


Chorus 1:

C
New York is calling me,
         G
It’s on the phone,
          Am7
It’s like the rooftop songs,
         D7
Up from the cobblestones.
(Stop strumming)


Verse 3:

          Em
You will never hear me say,
        Am
“The city street’s too loud,”
      Em
I hear a gospel hymn
      C      Em
In every passing crowd.
  G            Bm
It trails me and it tails me down,
  Em
To central park,
    C        D
Even after dark,
          G      C G
New York is my home.


Chorus 2:

C
New York is calling me,
        G
And now I find,
      Am7
The city never sleeps,
      D7
It’s my state of mind.


Verse 4:

  Em
The breezes blow,
                 Am
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
         Em
The harbour light shines on the piers,
         C     Am7
As all young lovers know.
     G       Bm
I can touch the world,
              Em
As it sails in from everywhere,
      C      D
I’m not alone,
          G      C    G
New York is my home.


Chorus 3:

C
New York is calling me,
        G
And now I find,
      Am7
The city never sleeps,
      D7      G    C G C D7
It’s my state of mind.


Verse 5:

  Em
The breezes blow,
                 Am
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
         Em
The harbour light shines on the piers,
         C     Am7
As all young lovers know.
     G       Bm
I can touch the world,
              Em
As it sails in from everywhere,
      C      D
I’m not alone,
          G
New York is my home.
      C      D
I’m not alone,
      Em
New York is my home.
