Tom : Em
G C
Ooh... New York
G C
Ooh... New York
[Verse 1]
G C
Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
G C
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
G C
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
G C G
Seeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broad-way
B
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocket full of dreams
[Chorus]
C
Baby, I'm from New York
Em C G
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
D
There's nothing you can't do
C
Now you're in New York
Em G
These streets will make you feel brand new
D
Big lights will inspire you
[Próxima Parte]
G C
Hear it from New York, New York, New York
[Verse 2]
G C G
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
C G
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
C G
Hail a gypsy-cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
C G
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge
B
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocket full of dreams
[Chorus]
C Em
Baby, I'm from New York
[Próxima Parte]
C
Hear it from New York, New York, New York!
[Verse 3]
C
One hand in the air for the big city,
C
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
D
No place in the world that can compare
Em B
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
C
In New York
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
C
Hear it from New York
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
C
Hear it from New York
