Livin' in a city of immigrants
A                   D
 I don't need to go travelin'

Open my door and the world walks in

Livin' in a city of immigrants

A                     A

My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats

Verse:

Livin' in a city where the dreams of men
A                     D
Reach up to touch the sky and then
D                    D
Tumble back down to earth again
E                   A
Livin' in a city that never quits

A                          A
Livin' in a city where the streets are paved
      A                    D
With good intentions and a people's faith
       D                D
In the sacred promise a statue made
E                   A
Livin' in a city of immigrants

Chorus:
        E              A
City of stone, City of steel
        E                  A
City of wheels, Constantly spinnin'
        E             A
City of bone, City of skin
        E             A
City of pain, City of immigrants

The river flows out and the sea rolls in
