INTRO:
G
F
To New York, to find what I'd been missing
G
I looked across the river to
F
The city where the windows all stood glistening
Em
I stood listening
G
Into a tunnel I did ride
F
Like a grave inside, but I was young and able
G
When I came out the other end
F
Through the smoke the winter light was feeble
Em
Unreadable
G
I was optimistic though
F
A cabbie told me where to go, I thanked him
G
A face of white a face of brown
F
Here a smile, there a look of danger
Em
For a stranger
Dm
It was too unreal for me
Em
I found no one who trusted me
F
There was no man could offer me
G F Em
A cold hand from New York______
G
Cold hands from New York
F
A voice within you cries
G
"Won't someone please help me"
F G Em A7 F D D7
If you should ever pass my way and need me
G
I came down to live alone
F
In New York, the city of the living
G
There were fortunes at my feet
F
But most of men were taking, none were giving
Em
Or forgiving
G
Children ran and children played
F
And roses grew in alleyways, I saw them
G
There were men who lived in style
F
And others who had died where no one knew them
Em
'Because they couldn't win
G
There were parks where old men slept
F
And dingy rooms where babies crept, unwanted
G
'Til I began to ask myself
F
If there was hope or if it mattered what they did
Em
Or if they lived
Dm
It was too unreal for me
