New York City Song Intro: |G |G |C |C |G |G |D |C |:G |G :|X3 Verse-1: G Said, hey little girl take me by the hand, Walk with me down this boardwalk one last time, again. C We’ll see those pretty pier lights, G Hear those carnival sounds. C D Gonna stop right at the top tonight, G When the Ferris-Wheel goes round.
Verse-2: G You say that I've been restless, You don't understand, Tomorrow I'll be leaving on that morning train. C Gonna leave this candy apple town behind, G Get out while I still can. Am D Goin' to New York City G With this guitar in my hand. Bridge: C I've been wishin' on these stars too long, G Been playin' in these bars too long, C Been holed up in your arms too long, G Been a prisoner of my heart too long. Chorus: G C Goin' to New York City, To find out where I stand. D C And, I'll be walkin' down broadway, G With this guitar in my hand.
