              Em
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

      D               Em
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

Em
Music loud and women warm

          D                   Em
I've been kicked around since I was born
[Pre-Chorus]
             A
But now it's all right, that's okay

A
You may look the other way

A
We can try to understand

    A
The New York Times' effect on man
[Chorus]
Em
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

       Em
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Em
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

      Em
I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Em              Em
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Em              Em         [ D   Em ] Bm7
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' ali-i-i-i --- ive
(break)

Oh, when you walk
[Verse 2]
          Em
Well, now I get low and I get high

         D                   Em
And if I can't get either, I really try

        Em
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes

      D                  Em
I'm a dancin' man, and I just can't lose
[Pre-Chorus]
               A
You know, it's all right, it's okay

     A
I'll live to see another day

A
We can try to understand

    A
The New York Times' effect on man
[Chorus]
Em
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

       Em
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Em
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

      Em
I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Em              Em
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Em              Em         [ D   Em ] Bm7
