Verse
E
Morning comes crashing like a rock through a window
N.C.
Jackhammer banging on the hot concrete
B
Take your stand (hey!)
N.C.
Move it, man!
N.C.
It's a backtalk, sidewalk symphony
E
Uber cars, yellow cabs, thick as smoke
N.A
Painted girls and meter maids will leave you broke
B
Sax man blowing shooting through my veins
A
There's a rhythm to the rocket that's intoxicating
[Chorus]
E
Goodnight New York, goodnight
B
Don't ever close your eyes
A
If these streets could talk, "New York, New York"
B
So fine they named you twice
A
Your face, your brains, no other place
E
From east to west, these streets are blessed
F#m A B
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York
E
Goodnight
[Verse 2]
E
Starbucks, FedEx trucks on every street and avenue
N.C.
Broadway lights, shining bright, make everybody beautiful
B
Walking on the high line, reaching for the sky line
N.C.
If Alexander Hamilton could see it all
E
Garbage trucks backing up ,beep, beep, beep
N.C.
Dogs barking on the balcony, the kids can't sleep
B
Scaffolds, pot holes, bagman's on a bicycle
A
Fast trains, bus, planes, welcome to the carnival
[Chorus]
E
Goodnight New York, goodnight
B
Don't ever close your eyes
A
If these streets could talk, "New York, New York"
B
So fine they named you twice

Your face, your brains, no other place

From east to west, these streets are blessed
F#m A B
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York

Goodnight
[Bridge]
B
The bravest and the finest
N.C.
My hand's on my heart for you
C#m
To the ones who paid the price
N.C.
And to those who saw us through
A
It's late, I'm getting weary
N.C.
So for now, I'll say
[Chorus]
E
Goodnight New York, goodnight
N.C.
Don't ever close your eyes
B
If these streets could talk, "New York, New York"
N.C.
So fine they named you twice
[Interlude]
E
Goodnight New York, goodnight
B
Don't ever close your eyes
A
If these streets could talk, "New York, New York"

So fine they named you twice

Your face, your brains, no other place

From east to west, these streets are blessed

Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York
