Ian Hunter - Central park n west

The ^DGulf and Western ^AGarbage just ^Bmain't the prettiest smell^G When you're ^Dsleeping on the ^A4th floor up, it's ^Dlike a ^Gliving ^Dhell New York's ^Dfinest rounding ^Aup the bums, the ^Bmfiremen get no ^Grest And ^Dambulances ^Asignal death on ^DCentral ^GPark 'n' ^DWest

Now there ^Dain't no sheets u^Apon my bed, just a ^Bmmattress and some ^Gwine The ^Drain is pouring ^Athrough the night and I'm ^Dglad my ^Glife is ^Amine When ^DFrank Carillo ^Aplays guitar trying to ^Bmget it off his ^Gchest He ^Dgets the words he ^Aneeds tonight on ^DCentral ^GPark 'n' ^DWest

And ^DI think, I think, ^AI think, I think,^Bm I think it's the ^Gbest When I'm ^Dlocked in the middle of ^ANew York City on ^DCentral ^GPark 'n' ^DWest And ^DI know, I know, ^AI know, I know,^Bm I know it's a ^Gmess But you've ^Dgot to be crazy to ^Alive in the city and ^DNew York ^GCity's the ^Dbest

And ^Dwe all want someone ^Ajust like me in the ^Bmcity we call ^Ghome She ^Dleaves me sometimes ^Awhen I write 'cause I ^Dwrite better ^Gon my ^Down Bag ^Dladies take my ^Adollars, put my ^Bmconscience to the test^G But ^Dwaitresses give me ^Acoffee free on ^DCentral ^GPark 'n' ^DWest

So, ^Dsweet soul woman, ^Asing the songs, it's ^Bmtime to sing them now^G I'm getting ^Dmore than high from ^Ahearin' 'em, don't sing them ^Dquiet, ^Gsing them loud^D For ^Dyou sang with the ^Abest of them but ^Bmnow you're just a guest^G I ^Dtell you we'll get a ^Ahotel room on ^DCentral ^GPark 'n' ^DWest

And ^DI think, I think, ^AI think, I think,^Bm I think it's the ^Gbest When I'm ^Dlocked in the middle of ^ANew York City on ^DCentral ^GPark 'n' ^DWest And ^DI know, I know, ^AI know, I know,^Bm I know it's a ^Gmess But you've ^Dgot to be crazy to ^Alive in the city and ^DNew York ^GCity's the ^Dbest

^DI know, I know, ^AI know, I know,^Bm I know it's a ^Gguess D A D G D D A Bm G D A D G D

N.C.

I think, I think, I think, I think, I think it's the best

N.C.

When I'm locked in the middle of New York City on Central Park 'n' West

N.C.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know it's a mess

N.C.

But you've got to be crazy to live in the city and New York City's the best
