[Verse 1]
GNew York city D/Aspread herself before Eyou
With her Cbangles and her Gspangles and her Dstars G
You were D/Aimpressed, with the Ecity so undressed
You Chad to go out Dcruising all the bGars
[Verse 2]
Your Gbusiness trip D/Aextended through the weekEend
SuCburban boy Ghere for your first Dtime
From the G27th floD/Aor, Eabove the midtown roar
You were Cstartled, by her Dbeauty, and her Gcrime
[Chorus]
And she's Dmevery girl you've seen in every moCmaj7vie
She's Dmevery dame you've ever known on Cmaj7late night TV
In her Emsteam and Baugsteel is the G/Bpassion youEm/C# feel Cmaj7

GNew York is a D/Awoman she'll Emake you cry
CAnd to her you're D/Ajust another guy G
[Verse 3]
GLook down and D/Asee her ruined plaEces
CSmoke and ash still Grising to the Dsky
She's Ghappy that you're D/Ahere but Ewhen you disappear
