New York City Evening Out (Story) chords by Ellis Paul
Verse 1
G
Gm
G
This song is called Angel in Manhattan.
Gm
G
I was in New York not long ago
and this song is
based on an experience I had.
I went down there,
my friends were trying to cheer me up,
I was going through this breakup
and they brought me out
Fm
G
Fm
to an outdoor cafe
Em
in the West Village
and started, you know, telling
E
me dirty jokes
Em
to try and make me laugh.
G
I said, enough of the penguins,
Em
I need to get out of here.
G
And I got up and I walked
Gm
around the block a few times.
G
E
Came back and I sat down
Gm
and they left me in my funk quietly to
G
sit there.
And then suddenly a transvestite
Em
G
came up to the cafe on a giant tricycle.
He had a harp on his back
and he started singing Shirley
Fm
Temple songs
to everybody that was
G
eating dinner.
After he was done,
E
he, uh, put the harp on his back
and he had a fishing pole with him
and he lowered a basket into
the cafe
Em
and we all threw money in it
G
and then he drove away.
And it was the only thing that got me out
of the head
Gm
that I was in for a
G
two -month period of time
because I figured, you know, any obstacles
that I had to overcome
were just nothing in com
E
G
parison.
The transvestite doesn't appear in this song,
Gm
but an angel does.
G
This song is about faith
and struggling with it,
Gm
and it's called Angel in My Hand.
G
You ready, Donny? Yes, sir.
