1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1. E E A B You called me last night on the telephone, and E E A B I was glad to hear from you 'cause I was all alone, you said "It's E E A B snowing, it's snowing! God, I hate this weather." E E A B E E Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together 2. We met in the springtime at a rock-and-roll show It was on the Bowery when it was time to go We kissed on the subway in the middle of the night I held your hand, you held mine, it was the best night of my life. Chorus: E B A B 'Cause everyone's your friend in New York City E C#m A B And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty A B E A The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see A B B/tacet But the best thing about New York City is... you and E E A B me 3. Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center Wish I was there 4. You wrote me a letter just the other day Said, "Springtime is coming soon so why don't you come to stay." I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I can't believe it's true I'm three days from New York City and I'm three days from you Chorus (twice) E E A B The remainder of the song from there on out is an instrumental, insert a sweet lead guitar solo at your own preferred experimentation, below are just the rhythm chords. Most live shows do not do the guitar solo outro, rather to do a short ending. As an alternative, just slow the tempo for a couple bars and play these chords instead: E/C# E/B A A/G# B/F# - E) E B A B (2x) Key change: F C Bb C (2x) Ending: F# NOTE: In verse 3, the original Cub lyrics were "...Ferry, ALPHABET CITY, BREAKFAST WITH TIFFANY'S Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where KING KONG lives."
