Intro

[Verse 1]
Bm
The morning came today,
Em
With rain and sheets of grey,
Bm
The subway rocked me out of bed,
G Bm
To take me on my way.
D F#m
Where’er I go I go in style,
Bm
Each and every mile,
G A
You know, I’m not alone,
D G D
New York is my home.
[Verse 2]
Bm
I got a girl up in the Bronx,
Em
She treats me like a king,
Bm
I’ll give her anything she wants,
G Bm
She is my everything.
D F#m
She can be hard as concrete,
Bm
Soft as a summer breeze,
G A
We can wake the dark,
D
New York is my home.
[Chorus 1]
G
New York is calling me,
D
It’s on the phone,
Em7
It’s like the rooftop songs,
A7
Up from the cobblestones.
(Stop strumming)
[Verse 3]
Bm
You will never hear me say,
Em
“The city street’s too loud,”
Bm
I hear a gospel hymn
G Bm
In every passing crowd.
D F#m
It trails me and it tails me down,
Bm
To central park,
G A
Even after dark,
D G D
New York is my home.
[Chorus 2]
G
New York is calling me,
D
And now I find,
Em7
The city never sleeps,
A7
It’s my state of mind.
[Verse 4]
Bm
The breezes blow,
Em
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
Bm
The harbour light shines on the piers,
G Em7
As all young lovers know.
D F#m
I can touch the world,
Bm
As it sails in from everywhere,
G A
I’m not alone,
D G D
New York is my home.
[Chorus 3]
G
New York is calling me,
D
And now I find,
Em7
The city never sleeps,
A7 D G D G A7
It’s my state of mind.
[Verse 5]
Bm
The breezes blow,
Em
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
Bm
The harbour light shines on the piers,
G Em7
As all young lovers know.
D F#m
I can touch the world,
Bm
As it sails in from everywhere,
G A
I’m not alone,
D
New York is my home.
G A
I’m not alone,
Bm
New York is my home.
