Chords with lyrics

#20 in 1967.

      (Capo 1st fret.)

#1.
A minorAm    D MajorD        G+G  G7G7 C majorC G+G
I used to live in New York City.
A minorAm     DmDm         G+G  G7G7 C majorC G+G
Everything there was dark and dirty.
A minorAm     FF      G+G    G7G7 Eb MajorEb G+G
Outside my window was a steeple,
A minorAm        F minorFm         G+G   G7G7 G+G G7G7
with a clock that always said twelve-thirty.

CHORUS:
C majorC               G+G
Young girls are coming to the canyon,
FF     F minorFm           G+G   G7G7
and in the mornings I can see them walking.
C majorC            G+G
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn,
FF      F minorFm        C majorC
and I can't keep myself from talking.

#2.
A minorAm      D MajorD          G+G    G7G7 C majorC G+G
At first, so strange, to feel so friendly.
A minorAm     DmDm         G+G     G7G7 C majorC G+G
To say good morning and really mean it.
A minorAm      FF         G+G  FF Eb MajorEb G+G
To feel these changes happening in me,
A minorAm     F minorFm      G+G     G7G7 G+G G7G7
but not to notice till I feel it.

CHORUS:
C majorC               G+G
Young girls are coming to the canyon,
FF     F minorFm           G+G   G7G7
and in the mornings I can see them walking.
C majorC            G+G
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn,
FF      F minorFm        C majorC
and I can't keep myself from talking.

#3.
A minorAm   D MajorD        G+G    G7G7 C majorC G+G
Cloudy waters cast no reflection.
A minorAm    DmDm        G+G   G7G7 C majorC G+G
Images of beauty lie there stagnant.
A minorAm     FF      G+G    FF Eb MajorEb G+G
Vibrations bounce in no direction,
A minorAm      F minorFm       G+G    G7G7 G+G G7G7
and lie there shattered into fragments.

CHORUS:
C majorC               G+G
Young girls are coming to the canyon,
FF     F minorFm           G+G   G7G7
and in the mornings I can see them walking.
C majorC            G+G
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn,
FF      F minorFm        C majorC
and I can't keep myself from talking.(FAde.)
