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

Sleep tight New York

G A
Sleep tight New York
