New York City Song
by John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band
G
I said hey little girl take me by the hand
walk with me down this boardwalk one last time again
C G
going to see those pretty pier lights hear those carnival sounds
D C G
We stopping at the top tonight as the ferris wheel goes 'round
G
I said that I been restless but they don't understand
tomorrow I'll be leaving one last time again
c
going to leave this candy apple town behind
G
going to get out while I still can
C G
going to New York City with this guitar in my hand
Pre-Chorus:
C
Been wishing on these stars too long
G
Been playing in these bars too long
C
Been held up in your arms too long
C
Been a prisoner of my heart too long
Chorus:
C
Going to New York City
G
Going to find out where I stand
D
and I will be walking down Broadway
C G
With this guitar in my hand
G C D
Verse 3:
G
I sing for the tourists about a dream life on the water
as the dreams that get broken this life gets harder and harder
C
Going to leave this candy apple town behind
G
Going to get out while I still can
D
Going to New York City
C G
With this guitar in my hand
Pre-Chorus:
C
Been wishing on these stars too long
G
Been playing in these bars too long
C
Been held up in your arms too long
G
Been a prisoner of my heart too long
Chorus:
C
Going to New York City
G
Going to find out where I stand
D
and I will be walking down Broadway
C G
With this guitar in my hand
G C D
