Original Key Capo 2


E MajorE    Amaj7Amaj7
Ooohh New York x2
E MajorE                           Amaj7Amaj7
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
E MajorE                                   Amaj7Amaj7
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
E MajorE                                Amaj7Amaj7
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
E MajorE                                 Amaj7Amaj7
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway

G#G#
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
        Amaj7Amaj7
Baby, I'm from New York
                 E MajorE
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
          BB
There's nothing you can't do
         Amaj7Amaj7
Now you're in New York
                 E MajorE
These streets will make you feel brand new
          BB
Big lights will inspire you
           Amaj7Amaj7
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!


E MajorE                             Amaj7Amaj7
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
E MajorE                                 Amaj7Amaj7
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
E MajorE                              Amaj7Amaj7
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
E MajorE                              Amaj7Amaj7
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge


G#G#
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
        Amaj7Amaj7
Baby, I'm from New York
                 E MajorE
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
          BB
There's nothing you can't do
        Amaj7Amaj7
Now you're in New York
                 E MajorE
These streets will make you feel brand new
        BB
Big lights will inspire you
         Amaj7Amaj7
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

Amaj7Amaj7
One hand in the air for the big city,
Amaj7Amaj7
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
BB
No place in the world that can compare
C#C#                     G#G#
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

ALTERNATE CHORDING
------------------
If you're a dude like me and you dig Ms. Keys but can't hit the notes well enough
in the orginal key try the following and move the capo up and down the neck until
you hit a range that you think you can handle.

For this example we'll play it down so even the high parts rest comfortably within a male range.
