[Chorus]
Gm F
I'd been a girl and wandering.
Gm F
Frequented my late afternoon

summer in New York City,
Gm F
wearin' the sweater colour green.
Gm F Bb
So one night I sat down in a chair and knitted there.
[Verse 1]
Gm F
Years after trying to lead a woman's life,
Gm F Bb Eb
I met a friend who had a red-haired wife.
Gm F
She said to me, Woman, I'd like your clothes.
Gm F
Come on and let us try both and take tender care.
Gm F Bb
And when you need help I will be there
[Bridge]

Memories and seasons achieve their affairs.

Sometime in April the sweater I wear.

Sometime in April the letter I read.

Dear friend, I think of you on the top of Empire State.
[Verse 2]
Gm F
Dear friend, I'm lonesome.
Gm F
Dear friend, I've been well.

How do you spell your name?
Gm F
The city has changed me.
Cm Eb
I am no longer the same.
Gm F Gm F
He wrote to me: Woman, I'd like to stay.
Gm F Gm F
Liberty Statue has got so many stars,
Gm F Bb
but when you need help I will be there.
[Chorus]
Gm F
I'd been a girl and wandering.

Frequented my late afternoon

summer in New York City,

wearin' the sweater colour green.
