G Am C Bm 
G Am C G 

 
  G               Am 
I guess this is it 
                              C         Bm 
I guess this is the end of a long hard road 
                 G 
I'vebeenlooking 
             Am                                C              G 
For an answerfrom someone for so long, knowin'it ain't gonna show 
G           Am 
 When I came to the city 
       C             Bm 
I was looking for a clue 
        G                 Am 
But the scent's gone cold and the streets are overflowin' 
        C                   G 
With women that look like you 
 

 
G                 Am 
 So goodbye, New York 
       C                 Bm 
I'm leavin' on a midnight train 
        G                 Am 
Took a bite of your apple and before I knew what happened 
     C                  G 
I was caught up in your game 
G                  Am 
 But I'm breaking free 
    C                Bm 
No more can you hold me down 
    C                 Bm                Am        G 
I'm rolling down that line, leavin' my old life behind 
                           G 
On a freight a-headed southbound 
 

 
           G 
When the summer came 
Am                             C                        Bm 
 And I first saw your face, I thought I had it figured out 
     G                  Am 
And then came November and brought the rain 
           C                    G 
And now my mind is filled with doubt 
G               Am 
But I'm leavin' for the last time 
   C             Bm 
I know I said no more 
G                    Am 
Maybe I'll come back when the streets are packed 
       C                   G 
And my heartache ain't so sore 
 

 
G                 Am 
 So goodbye, New York 
       C                 Bm 
I'm leavin' on a midnight train 
        G                 Am 
Took a bite of your apple and before I knew what happened 
     C                  G 
I was caught up in your game 
G                  Am 
 But I'm breaking free 
    C                Bm 
No more can you hold me down 
    C                 Bm                Am        G 
I'm rolling down that line, leavin' my old life behind 
                           G 
On a freight a-headed southbound
