Verse 1
This isn't like the usual (D major) New York songs.
A lot of the songs you hear nowadays
about (G major) New York,
they're all the glamour kind on 42nd Street,
(D major) Broadway (G major) theatres, you hear
them all the time.
(D major) New York, New York, the
wonderful town.
Let's go to New York on
(G major) our vacation
and see what a great (C major) town it is.
(G major) This wasn't written up there
(C major) where all those song (G major) s are written,
this is written down in the United
(D major) States. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Ramblin' out in the wild (C major) west
Leavin' (D major) the towns that I love the best
I (G major) thought I seen some up (C major) s and downs
Till I (D major) rambled into New York town (G major)
Building (C major) s goin' down to the
(D major) ground (C major)
(D major) People goin' up to the sky (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Well, I got on the (D major) subway,
(C major) took a seat
and (D major) got off on 42nd Street.
I met this fel (G major) la named
(D major) Dolores there.
He started rubbin' his
hands through my hair.
I run to 10 hot dog stands,
four movie houses,
and a couple of dancing studios
back on the subway. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Well, I swung on to my old gui (D major) tar
as I grabbed hold of that old
subway car.
from a rockin' road and reelin'
(C major) ride
I landed up on the (D major) downtown side
(G major) Greenwich Village (C major)
Folklore Center
(D major) Izzy Young Theodore McKell (G major)
(C major) Well, (D major) (G major) walked down there and I ended up in
(D major) one of them coffee houses on the block
And I'd (G major) get on the stage, sing and (D major) play
A man there say,
come back some other day
Sound like a hillbilly (G major)
(C major) We want folk singers here (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Had a harmonica job, begun to (C major) play
Blowing (D major) my brains out
for a dollar a day
I blowed in (G major) side out (D major) an
d upside down
The man there said
he's crazy about the sound
He's (G major) raving about it
He's telling (C major) all his friends about it
A dollar a (D major) day's worth (G major)
After weeks and weeks of
hanging (D major) around
I finally got a job in New York town
And a bigger place, bigger money too
I even joined the union and paid my dues
(G major) Six months in advance (C major) (D major) (G major)
Now, some (D major) very great man, he (C major) once (D major) said,
some people rob you with a
fountain pen.
In New York, it didn't take (C major) too long
to (D major) find out just what he was talking about. (G major)
A lot of people (C major) don't have
too much food on their tables. (D major)
But they got a lot of forks,
a lot of knives.
And they got to cut something,
watch out (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
So one morning when the
sun (D major) was warm
I rambled out of New York town
Pulled my (G major) cap down (D major) over my eyes
Headed out for the western skies (G major)
So long, New (C major) York
(D major) Howdy, East Orange! (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (C major)
(D major) (G major)
