New York's My Home chords by Gordon Jenkins
Verse 1
D
Bm
D
Bm
A
D
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
Bm
and I know Chicago?
D
Well, Chicago's all right
It's got Marshall Field and Soldiers Field
Bm
And it's on a nice lake
D
But it hasn't got the Hansons in the park
G
It hasn't got the skyline after dark
D
That's why New York's my home
Let me never leave it
Bm
G
New York's my home, sweet home
A
San Francisco?
D
San Francisco is a lovely place
It's got lots of hills and lots of thrills
Bm
And it's near an ocean of some size
D
But it hasn't got the Bowery or the Bronx
G
It hasn't got the Harlem,
honky -tonks
D
That's why New York's my home
It's my favorite city,
Bm
G
New York's my home, sweet home
St. Louis?
D
Lots of people like St. Louis
It's got lots of shoes
and the St. Louis blues
Bm
And one of our larger rivers runs by
D
But it hasn't got the opera in the Met
G
It hasn't got a famous string quartet
D
That's why New York's my home
Not a place to visit,
Bm
New York's my home,
G
sweet home
Bm
Hollywood?
D
Hollywood's got movie stars
and movie czars
And cocktail bars and shiny cars
Bm
And a wonderful climate, they say
D
But it hasn't got the handy subway trains
Dm
G
You sel dom find a taxi when it rains
D
That's why New York's my home
Ain't your California,
Bm
D
New York's my home, sweet home
G
So save your time and trouble
Dm
Bdim
Save your railroad fare
G
C
Edim
Save your time and trouble
