Me and my baby got the whole thing down,
A
from the Hudson River down to Chinatown,
D
laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down,
E A
oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down,
D
I got a shotgun leaning on a kitchen chair,
E A
I think I might get drunk and shoot it in the air,
D
climb up to the hill and get lost somewhere,
E A
one more last shot baby I'll be there,
A D
oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down,
E A
from the Hudson River down to Chinatown,
D
laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down,
E A
oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down,
D
I'm going make me some money downtown tonight,
E A
chase all of them pretty girl through the neon lights,
D
so, back to bed right about daylight,
E A
in the back of my mind, something don't feel right,
D
oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down,
E A
from the Hudson River down to Chinatown,
D
laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down,
E A
oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down,
E D

E A
I've been gone, gone way too long, oh, long gone,

from the Hudson River down to Chinatown,
D
laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down,
E A
oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down,

D
me and my baby got the whole thing down,
E A
from the Hudson River down to Chinatown,
D
laid up in bed 'til the sun goes down,
E A
oh, me and my baby got the whole thing down,
