TMBG In 4 Chords/New York City
From This Might Be A Wiki
New York City transposed to G, without the key changes, for TMBG In 4 Chords. To match the recording key, you'd have to put a capo on fret 9.
1.
G G C D
You called me last night on the telephone, and
G G C D
I was glad to hear from you 'cause I was all alone, you said "It's
G G C D
snowing, it's snowing! God, I hate this weather."
G G C D G G
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:
G D C D
'Cause everyone's your friend in New York City
G Em C D
And everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty
C D G C
The streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see
C D D
But the best thing about New York City is... you and
G D C D
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)
