Verse 1
(D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor) (A major) (D major) Listen,
all you New Yorkers,
there's a rumor going round
That some of you good people
want to leave this town
But you'd better consult with me
before you go
Yeah? Cause I've been to
all those places
and I (B minor) know Chicago?
Well, (D major) Chicago's all right
It's got Marshall Field and Soldiers Field
And it's on a nice lake (B minor)
But it hasn't (D major) got the Hansons in the park
It (G major) hasn't got the skyline after dark
That's why (D major) New York's my home
Let me never leave it
(B minor) New York's my home, sweet (G major) home
San (A major) Francisco?
(D major) San Francisco is a lovely place
It's got lots of hills and lots of thrills
And it's near an ocean of some (B minor) size
But it hasn't (D major) got the Bowery or the Bronx
It hasn't (G major) got the Harlem,
honky -tonks
That's why (D major) New York's my home
It's my favorite city,
(B minor) New York's my home, sweet home (G major)
St. Louis?
(D major) Lots of people like St. Louis
It's got lots of shoes
and the St. Louis blues
And one of our larger rivers runs (B minor) by
But it hasn't (D major) got the opera in the Met
It (G major) hasn't got a famous string quartet
That's why (D major) New York's my home
Not a place to visit,
(B minor) New York's my home,
sweet (G major) home
Hollywood? (B minor)
(D major) Hollywood's got movie stars
and movie czars
And cocktail bars and shiny cars
And a wonderful climate, they say (B minor)
But it hasn't (D major) got the handy subway trains
You (D minor) sel dom (G major) find a taxi when it rains
That's why (D major) New York's my home
Ain't your California,
New York's (B minor) my home, sweet (D major) home
So (G major) save your time and trouble
Save your railroad fare (D minor) (Bdim)
(G major) Save (C major) your time (Edim) and trouble
(C major) Save your (Edim) (G major) railroad fare
(D major) Cause when you leave New York,
you don't go anywhere
(G major) So brother Ben,
you'd better (E minor) stay (Edim) right there (A major)
We have to (E minor) go now, (G major) it's getting real late
(E minor) An d Purdue (D major) and the office
had a quarter of mate
(A minor) We en (D major) joyed it so much,
had (A major) a real nice (D major) time
Thanks an awful lot.
Come (A major) and see us (D major) soon. (G minor) (D major) (B minor) (E minor)
(B minor) Well, (D major) I guess that's it.
You're going (E flat major) back tomorrow. (D major)
(G minor) I can't (B flatdim) leave you. (C sharpdim) I (D minor) just can't. Steven,
(A major) look.
New York gave us two wonderful days,
and (D minor) we should say thank you and run
just as fast as we can.
We have (A major) to come down to
(F sharp major) Earth sometime.
(G major) That's just it. (B flat major) We don't.
Maybe other people do, but we (A flat major) don't.
(A flataug) I'm (F sharp major) happy up here where we are,
and I want to (B major) stay.
But, (A flat major) Stephen, we can't just...
We can (B major) find our place
(E flat minor) In the (F sharp major) sun (F sharp minor) (F sharp major) I'm afraid to (B major) run
I know my heart (F sharp major) would lose (Edim)
(B flatdim) its (E flat major) way.
Never leave me, never leave me.
Let me stay (F sharp major) with you.
Never me, never leave me.
Oh (E flat major) (C sharpdim) -ah,
(E flat major) Oh (F sharp major) (C sharp minor) (E flatdim) -ah,
Oh (A flataug) -ah (A flat major) (A flataug) (C sharp minor) (A flataug) (A major) (C sharp minor)
