New York Is My Home

	  		
Intro: Em 


verse 1 

 Em 
The morning came today, 
                   Am 
With rain and sheets of grey, 
                Em 
The subway rocked me out of bed, 
                C        Em 
To take me on my way. 
G                Bm 
Where?er I go I go in style, 
                    Em 
Each and every mile, 
                   C               D 
You know, I?m not alone, 
                    G           C       G 
New York is my home. 


verse 2 

           Em 
I got a girl up in the Proms, 
                   Am 
She treats me like a king, 
                   Em 
I?ll give her anything she wants, 
                C   Em 
She is my everything. 
           G               Bm 
She can be hard as concrete, 
                         Em 
Soft as a summer breeze, 
          C                     D 
We can wake the dark, 
                    G 
New York is my home. 



C 
New York is calling me, 
                 G 
It?s on the phone, 
                   Am7 
It?s like the rooftop songs, 
                 D7 
Up from the cobblestones. 
(Stop strumming) 



verse 3 

                    Em 
You will never hear me say, 
                Am 
?The city street?s too loud,? 
            Em 
I hear a gospel hymn 
            C            Em 
In every passing crowd. 
   G                        Bm 
It trails me and it tails me down, 
   Em 
To central park, 
        C               D 
Even after dark, 
                    G           C G 
New York is my home. 



C 
New York is calling me, 
                G 
And now I find, 
            Am7 
The city never sleeps, 
           D7 
It?s my state of mind. 


verse 4 

    Em 
The breezes blow, 
                                 Am 
And take me where the Hudson never flows, 
                 Em 
The harbour light shines on the piers, 
                  C         Am7 
As all young lovers know. 
         G              Bm 
I can touch the world, 
                            Em 
As it sails in from everywhere, 
           C            D 
I?m not alone, 
                    G           C       G 
New York is my home. 


C 
New York is calling me, 
                G 
And now I find, 
            Am7 
The city never sleeps, 
           D7            G        C G C D7 
It?s my state of mind. 



Verse 5 

    Em 
The breezes blow, 
                                 Am 
And take me where the Hudson never flows, 
                 Em 
The harbour light shines on the piers, 
                  C         Am7 
As all young lovers know. 
         G              Bm 
I can touch the world, 
                            Em 
As it sails in from everywhere, 
           C            D 
I?m not alone, 
                    G 
New York is my home. 
           C            D 
I?m not alone, 
            Em   
New York is my home.
