 Verse 1:

       Em                     D
   The days were long and the night so cold,
       A/C#               C
   The pages turn and the tale unfolds,
      Em           D         A/C#      C
   He left me for,   another lady.

 Verse 2:

       Em                    D

   There was not one moment he could regret,
      Em           D         A/C#     C
   He left me for,   another lady.


 Pre-Chorus 1:

 C            G                        B7
   He took my hand one day and told me,
                  Em          Em7
   He was leaving,    Me disbelieving.
       C             G
   And I, I, I, I,   I, I, I, I,
   B7             Em   Em7
   Had to let him go.


 Chorus 1:

                C             G
   Her name was New York, New York,
            B7*           Em        Em7
   And she took his heart away from mine,
                C             G
   Her name was New York, New York,
           B7*                Em     Em7

   Mm .. mm .. mmmm.


 Verse 3:

       Em                   D
   The wolves they howl for my lost soul,

   I fell down a deep black hole,
      Em           D         A/C#      C
   He left me for,   another lady,
       Em                        D
   She poured the drinks and she poured the power,
   A/C#                   C
   Diamond girl who could talk for hours,
      Em           D         A/C#      C
   He left me for,   another lady.

   Now I am on my own, he told me
                   Em           Em7
   He was leaving,    and I was pleading
       C             G
   And I, I, I, I,   I, I, I, I,
   B7             Em   Em7
   Had to let him go.
