DmHudson died in GHudson bay
CThe water took its Amvictim's name
GmNow rivers rise toward FRiverside
ETo change their names again
DmA stranger walked in Gthrough the door
CSaid, "All apartmeAmnts are pre-war"
GmWe laughed and asked him Ffor his name
EHe stayed until the end
DmWe watched the Germans Gplay the Greeks
CWe marked the ninety-Amnine-year lease
GmOur fathers signed which FI declined
ETo try and comprehend
(Chorus)
DmOver and Gover again
CAll these Amnever-ending visions
DmOver and Gover again
CLike a priAmze that's changing hands
DmThe time Ghas come
CThe clock is such a dAmrag
GmAll you who cFhange your stripes
ECan wrap me in the flag
DmThe legendary Gwooden gate
CThat first established Amreal estate
GmIs lost to time like Fother crimes
EThat won this pleasant land
(Chorus)
DmHudson died in GHudson bay
CBut I was born on AmSutton Place
GmThe rising tide helped Fme decide
ETo change my name again
DmSome men tend to lGinger on,
CAnd some make haste from AmBabylon,
GmAnd some will roam their Fruined home,
ERejoicing to the end
(Chorus)
DmThe lines are Gdrawn, the Cmap is such a dAmrag
GmAll you who Fchange your stripes can Ewrap me in the flag
