Hudson died in Hudson bay
C majorC A minorAm
The water took its victim's name
G minorGm FF
Now rivers rise toward Riverside
E MajorE
To change their names again
DmDm G+G
A augmentedA stranger walked in through the door
C majorC A minorAm
Said, "All apartments are pre-war"
G minorGm FF
We laughed and asked him for his name
E MajorE
He stayed until the end
DmDm G+G
We watched the Germans play the Greeks
C majorC A minorAm
We marked the ninety-nine-year lease
G minorGm FF
Our fathers signed which I declined
E MajorE
To try and comprehend
(Chorus)
DmDm G+G
Over and over again
C majorC A minorAm
All these never-ending visions
DmDm G+G
Over and over again
C majorC A minorAm
Like a prize that's changing hands
DmDm G+G
The time has come
C majorC A minorAm
The clock is such a drag
G minorGm FF
All you who change your stripes
E MajorE
Can wrap me in the flag
DmDm G+G
The 🏷Legendary wooden gate
C majorC A minorAm
That first established real estate
G minorGm FF
Is lost to time like other crimes
E MajorE
That won this pleasant land
(Chorus)
DmDm G+G
Hudson died in Hudson bay
C majorC A minorAm
But I was born on Sutton Place
G minorGm FF
The rising tide helped me decide
E MajorE
To change my name again
DmDm G+G
Some men tend to linger on,
C majorC A minorAm
And some make haste from Babylon,
G minorGm FF
And some will roam their ruined home,
E MajorE
Rejoicing to the end
(Chorus)
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
The lines are drawn, the map is such a drag
G minorGm FF E MajorE
