Intro
F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m
The morning came today,
Bm
With rain and sheets of grey,
F#m
The subway rocked me out of bed,
D F#m
To take me on my way.
A C#m
Where’er I go I go in style,
F#m
Each and every mile,
D E
You know, I’m not alone,
A D A
New York is my home.
[Verse 2]
F#m
I got a girl up in the Bronx,
Bm
She treats me like a king,
F#m
I’ll give her anything she wants,
D F#m
She is my everything.
A C#m
She can be hard as concrete,
F#m
Soft as a summer breeze,
D E
We can wake the dark,
A
New York is my home.
[Chorus 1]
D
New York is calling me,
A
It’s on the phone,
Bm7
It’s like the rooftop songs,
E7
Up from the cobblestones.
(Stop strumming)
[Verse 3]
F#m
You will never hear me say,
Bm
“The city street’s too loud,”
F#m
I hear a gospel hymn
D F#m
In every passing crowd.
A C#m
It trails me and it tails me down,
F#m
To central park,
D E
Even after dark,
A D A
New York is my home.
[Chorus 2]
D
New York is calling me,
A
And now I find,
Bm7
The city never sleeps,
E7
It’s my state of mind.
[Verse 4]
F#m
The breezes blow,
Bm
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
F#m
The harbour light shines on the piers,
D Bm7
As all young lovers know.
A C#m
I can touch the world,
F#m
As it sails in from everywhere,
D E
I’m not alone,
A D A
New York is my home.
[Chorus 3]
D
New York is calling me,
A
And now I find,
Bm7
The city never sleeps,
E7 A D A D E7
It’s my state of mind.
[Verse 5]
F#m
The breezes blow,
Bm
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
F#m
The harbour light shines on the piers,
D Bm7
As all young lovers know.
A C#m
I can touch the world,
F#m
As it sails in from everywhere,
D E
I’m not alone,
A
New York is my home.
D E
I’m not alone,
F#m
New York is my home.
