Verse 1
(G major) (Dsus4) (G major) (Dsus4) I look (G major) out on
the grey (D major) of New York City (E minor)
To see (C major) some children (G major) playing

(G major) for kids to (D major) grow

Verse 3
(Dsus4)
And I (G major) watch the garbage scows (D major)
plow up the (E minor) river
Filled (C major) with things New Yorkers (G major) throw away (D major)

(D major)

And my memory (C major) takes me (D major) back again
to (G major) rivers that I've seen (E minor)
Lazy (C major) country (D major) rivers that just

You can fish (C major) 'em, you can drink (D major) 'em,
you can swim (G major) 'em (B minor) when you're warm (E minor) (G major) (C major)
City boy, (D major) country (G major) born

And I see (A flat major) the heart at New (C minor)

And frozen (D flat major) TV dinners (A flat major) front the fridge
(E flat major)

And a cup (D flat major) of mama's cof (E flat major) fee,

City (E flat major) boy, country (A flat major) born (F minor)
