Intro:

A augmentedA  E MajorE  F# minorF#m  D MajorD


Verse 1:
A augmentedA                 E MajorE
 In the Geminid shower, you flew away through Orion's sky
       F# minorF#m       D MajorD
The maverick queen of our galaxy
A augmentedA               E MajorE                     F# minorF#m
 Play these tunes I wrote for her, you and your golden ear and flare for words
        D MajorD
Tell us how you hung the stars
A augmentedA              E MajorE
 'Cause I am useless in this aging hour
        F#F#           D MajorD
Of broken pipe dreams in a skyline of water towers
 A augmentedA           E MajorE
I crave the night, can't shake it from my sight
  F# minorF#m
You knew me every time
  D MajorD          A augmentedA  E MajorE
You knew me every time

Verse 2:
A augmentedA            E MajorE
 On the way, I fell for every mountain rangе
       F# minorF#m                 D MajorD
Every endless sky, еvery painted pony plain, every arrowhead this kid could fly
A augmentedA               E MajorE                 F# minorF#m
 But on the hoof, I found New York, getting groomed for some big tour
                 D MajorD
Holding hands with girls down the streets and avenues
A augmentedA              E MajorE            F# minorF#m
 Make it count in the music biz and that's what you did
          D MajorD
But me, I am still wandering
     A augmentedA           E MajorE
'Cause I crave the trying, can't shake it from my mind
  F# minorF#m
You saw me every time
  D MajorD
You saw me every time

A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  E MajorE

Chorus:
A augmentedA               C# minorC#m
"Don't take the subway, baby, let's just walk," we'd say
B minorBm            E MajorE
Til our longing turns to day
     A augmentedA
Remember when
       C# minorC#m
Alphabet City was a wilderness to you and me
B minorBm         E MajorE
Before Rudy had his way

Bridge:
FF             G+G
And they kept it all shut down
                A minorAm
From Jones Beach to the Mercury Lounge
                FF
After you left, the shit really hit the fan
           G+G
So we took it to the streets
            A minorAm
Crying, "No justice, no peace"
                     FF
All for one, one for all, here comes the show
         G+G (let ring)
Hey, turn on your radio

Guitar solo:
C majorC  E minorEm  FF  G+G
A minorAm  E minorEm  FF  G+G

Bridge:
FF            G+G
Yeah, we took it to the streets
           A minorAm   E MajorE
'Cause freedom is not free

Chorus:
A augmentedA               C# minorC#m
"Don't take the subway, baby, let's just walk," we'd say
B minorBm            E MajorE
Til our longing turns to day
     A augmentedA
Remember when
       C# minorC#m
Alphabet City was a wilderness to you and me
B minorBm         E MajorE
Before Rudy had his way

Outro:
   FF        G+G         A augmentedA
This Georgia girl has got it bad for New York
