[Intro] F# G# Bm F# [Verse 1]
F#Life and death in an G#alleyway Just a Bmheartbeat away from a F#man F#Who's learned to turn his G#head away From the Bmpain that drains the F#land EHarlem's not too Bfar from here You can Bmsmell the garbage, F#feel the fear A7I hear they're gonna build a Dmaj7sky-scraper there G#m7As if we C#7didn't A#m7need the D#m7extra G#mair
C#7 [Chorus]
F#New York city A#mblues In order to G#mwin, you gotta C#7lose F#Old before your A#mtime The dirt and the G#m7grime Get into C#7everything And the A#m7papers love to D#m7say It's the Bmaj7meanest town in the E7USA But I F#think it's OK, it's the Btown I've C#made my hoF#me
[Verse 2]
On F#another side of G#Park Avenue BmRespectable folks don't F#know F#Hungry eyes take in the G#view Of the Bmworld that lays them F#low EToo many years on a Bwelfare line BmThe old song and dance F#time after time A7You can only get so pushed Dmaj7around G#m7Until you C#7wanna A#m7tear the D#m7damn thing G#mdown
C#7 [Chorus]
F#New York city A#mblues In order to G#mwin, you gotta C#7lose F#Old before your A#mtime The dirt and the G#m7grime Get into C#7everything And the A#m7papers love to D#m7say It's the Bmaj7meanest town in the E7USA But I F#think it's OK, it's the Btown I've C#made my hoF#me
