Steve Earle - Nyc guitar chord

NYC

Steve Earle

2X - (Bb F C F Bb F C )

Bb F C F

He was standing on the highway, somewhere way out in the sticks

Bb F C

Guitar across his shoulder like a 30.06

Bb F C F

He was staring in my headlights, when I come around the bend

Bb F C

Climbed up on my shotgun side and told me with a grin

Chorus:

Bb F C F

I’m goin’ to New York City

Bb F C

I’ve never really been there, just like the way it sounds

Bb F C F

I heard the girls are pretty

Bb F C

There must be something happening there, it’s just too big a town

He was cold and wet and hungry, but he never did complain

Said he’d come a thousand miles through sleet and snow and rain

He had a hundred stories about, the places that he’d been

He’d hang around a little while and hit the road again

Repeat Chorus

See, I’ve been to New York City, seems like it was yesterday

I was standing like a pilgrim on the great white way

The girls were really pretty, but they wouldn’t talk to me

I held out about a week, went back to Tennessee

So, I thought I better warn him, as he climbed out of my car

Grabbed his battered suitcase and shouldered his guitar

I knew I was just jealous, if I didn’t wish him well

I slipped the kid a twenty, said, Billy ‘em hell

Repeat Chorus Twice
