Finger-picking.
First tab, so its not guaranteed, but it sounds right.
Enjoy. Play it at parties if you want people to think you're whiny, neurotic and suicidal.
CIf I had a girl on 9th avenue
I know exactly whatF she would do
She would Dwander at Gdawn Dlook around At Gfolks
Find sDomeone better lGooking who tDells Better jGokes
AFnd then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east Calone
Em9 8 7th Amavenue
EmNow I'm crossing AmMadison
EmSobbing on Park AAmvenue
FFeeling bad on Lexington
Em3 2 1st Amavenue
EmGoing east Amwith the wind
EmCross the FDAmR to the east Friver
Fall rightC in
And if I had a girl on 10th avenue
I know exactly what she would do
She would wander at day look at all the Guys
Find someone who's read more books And has bluer eyes
And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone
9 8 7th avenue
Now I'm crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Fall right in
And if I had a girl on 11th avenue
I know exactly what she would do
She would wander at night hang around At bars
Find someone who draws better and Plays prettier guitar
And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone
9 8 7th avenue
Now I'm crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Throw myself in
FUntil the scum in the east river would GDrown me
FThe phlegm and rotten rats would GSurround me
FThe shattered cars at the bottom all GAround me
FUntil I was just another scum in the CEast river
FAnd when I become the scum it's myEm Job to drown
FThe pathetic hopes and failures ofEm the Next unloved clown
FThough maybe it would be a girl and We coulEmd become scum together
FDecompose as the river flows
EmBecome one scum together
Become one forever
One bloated rotten putrid scum Cforever
9 8 7th avenue
Now I'm crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Fall right in
