New York New York

Tabbed by 4d

Pretty simple and accurate tab to play along to, there?s just 4 chords to learn to play it. The rhythm is pretty tricky to get, but listen to the track a few hundred times, play along and then you?ve got it.

Intro: A and A/D changing (listen to track to see about timing)

Verse 1: A changing to A/D half way through each line

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July

I had a firecracker waiting to blow

Breakin' like a rocket who was makin' its way

Ro the cities of Mexico

Lived in an apartment out on avenue a

I had a tar hut on the corner of 10th

Had myself a lover who was finer than gold

But I've been broken up and busted up since

Chorus:

E A E A D

And love don't play any games with me, anymore

D

Like she did before

E A E A

The world won't wait, so I better shake

D

That thing right out there through the door

Change back to verse rhythm (A+A/D)

Hell, I still love you, New York

Verse 2: same

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds

Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good

Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place

When I was drunk and I was thinking of you

Everyday the children they were singing their tunes

Out on the streets and you could hear from inside

Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd

I would wait for you and I'd try to hide

Chorus 2: same rhythm as chorus 1

And love won't play any games with me, anymore

If you don't won't it to

The world won't wait and I watched you shake

But honey, I don't blame you

Hell, I still love you New York

You don?t need to play the saxophone bit at the end, I reckon it ruins it anyway!
