New York City chords by The Statler Brothers

Chords with lyrics

C majorC              D7D7
She came to me shortly after Christmas

FF       G7G7         C majorC
Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve

                   D7D7
But the truth doesn't wait to come in season

  FF      G7G7        C majorC
And what we had feared was now believed


                 D7D7
She said she'd leave come Monday mornin'

FF       G7G7        C majorC
Catch a plane if I'd split the fare

                   D7D7
She said she had friends in New York City

   FF        G7G7      C majorC
She'd look them up and have the baby there

  FF              C majorC
And now she's alone in New York City

FF             C majorC
Livin' like Lord I wonder how

  A minorAm            D7D7
An angel in hell in New York City

  FF    G7G7        C majorC
But I can't think about that now


               D7D7
Honey will you tell him Bible stories

  FF        G7G7      C majorC
And give him all the love I never could

                   D7D7
But never tell him too much about his daddy

   FF      G7G7         C majorC
Cause there's not much to say that's good

                  D7D7
He'll have to learn it all from his mother

FF        G7G7    C majorC
How to count and say his ABC's

                     D7D7
But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime

FF          G7G7       C majorC
Leave off God bless daddy won't you please


  FF               C majorC
And now they're alone in New York City

FF             C majorC
Livin' like Lord I wonder how

  A minorAm             D7D7
Two angels in hell in New York City


  FF    G7G7        C majorC
But I can't think about that now

FF    G7G7        C majorC
