Intro:

E minorEm


Verse 1:

 E minorEm
The morning came today,
          A minorAm
With rain and sheets of grey,
        E minorEm
The subway rocked me out of bed,
        C majorC    E minorEm
To take me on my way.
G+G        B minorBm
Where’er I go I go in style,
          E minorEm
Each and every mile,
          C majorC        D MajorD
You know, I’m not alone,
          G+G      C majorC    G+G
New York is my home.

Verse 2:

      E minorEm
I got a girl up in the Proms,
          A minorAm
She treats me like a king,
          E minorEm
I’ll give her anything she wants,
        C majorC  E minorEm
She is my everything.
      G+G        B minorBm
She can be hard as concrete,
             E minorEm
Soft as a summer breeze,
     C majorC           D MajorD
We can wake the dark,
          G+G
New York is my home.


Chorus 1:

C majorC
New York is calling me,
         G+G
It’s on the phone,
          Am7Am7
It’s like the rooftop songs,
         D7D7
Up from the cobblestones.
(Stop strumming)

Verse 3:

          E minorEm
You will never hear me say,
        A minorAm
“The city street’s too loud,”
      E minorEm
I hear a gospel hymn
      C majorC      E minorEm
In every passing crowd.
  G+G            B minorBm
It trails me and it tails me down,
  E minorEm
To central park,
    C majorC        D MajorD
Even after dark,
          G+G      C majorC G+G
New York is my home.


Chorus 2:

C majorC
New York is calling me,
        G+G
And now I find,
      Am7Am7
The city never sleeps,
      D7D7
It’s my state of mind.


Verse 4:

  E minorEm
The breezes blow,
                 A minorAm
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
         E minorEm
The harbour light shines on the piers,
         C majorC     Am7Am7
As all young lovers know.
     G+G       B minorBm
I can touch the world,
              E minorEm
As it sails in from everywhere,
      C majorC      D MajorD
I’m not alone,
          G+G      C majorC    G+G
New York is my home.


Chorus 3:

C majorC
New York is calling me,
        G+G
And now I find,
      Am7Am7
The city never sleeps,
      D7D7      G+G    C majorC G+G C majorC D7D7
It’s my state of mind.


Verse 5:

  E minorEm
The breezes blow,
                 A minorAm
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
         E minorEm
The harbour light shines on the piers,
         C majorC     Am7Am7
As all young lovers know.
     G+G       B minorBm
I can touch the world,
              E minorEm
As it sails in from everywhere,
      C majorC      D MajorD
I’m not alone,
          G+G
New York is my home.
      C majorC      D MajorD
I’m not alone,
      E minorEm
New York is my home.
