Tom : F#
F# B7M
Ooohh New York (2x)
F# B7M
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
F# B7M
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
F# B7M
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
F# B7M
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
A#
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from...
(refrão)
B7M
New York
[Refrão]
F#
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
C#
There's nothing you can't do
B7M
Now you're in New York
F#
These streets will make you feel brand new
C#
Big lights will inspire you
[Próxima Parte]
B7M
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!
F# B7M
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
F# B7M
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
F# B7M
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
F# B7M
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge
A#
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Chorus:
Baby, I'm from...
(refrão)
B7M
New York
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
B7M
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!
B7M
One hand in the air for the big city,
C#
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
D#m
No place in the world that can com-pare
A#
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
B7M
In New York
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
B7M F#
Let's hear it for New Yoooork!
