[Intro] | G Gsus G | G [Verse 1]
G                          F         C     Em
Born on the Hudson twenty-two years gone

Em                     Asus4 A | G
Bred and raised in the city

         G               Fmaj7           C
From my daddy's knee I learned the Union songs

     Em                        Asus4  A
But Grandma sang lullabies of Dixie

      C                                   G
And though the northern winter fills my heart with joy

             Fmaj7                   Em          Asus4     A7          Gsus G | Fmaj7 C
Ooh it's a southern sun that shines down on this Yaaaaannnnnnnkee boy
[Verse 2]
G                                  Fmaj7          C
Mama dreamed of Paris nights and boatin' on the Seine

      Em                                                       Asus4    A
She said, "we're gonna make it there too as soon as Papa comes home again"

            G                                            Fmaj7        C
And she'd speak to me in broken French, dressed like a painting of Lautrec's

          Em                                                                   Asus4  A
Late at night she'd clutch me to her breast and say, "we'll make it outta here yet"

                C                         G
And though the Parisian women strut so fine down the Eiffel mall

        Fmaj7          C     Em      Asus4  A
It's a southern one I sing my songs foooooorrr
[Interlude] | C | G Dsus4 D | D [Verse 3]
        G                                Fmaj7                 Em
With a local bunch of do-good boys and an old man from the West

    Em                                        Asus4              A
We crossed the land in a caravan, yes, we traveled with the best

       G                                      Fmaj7             G
With circus acts and vaudeville hacks and a Mississippi Delta Queen

     Em                                              Asus4           A
She told me the news and sold me the blues in an alley in New Orleans

                C                                          G
And though the western plains are still stained with the blood of great cowboys

         Fmaj7                   C       Em          | Asus4 | Dsus4 D | Gsus
It's a southern sun that shines dooooowwwwnnnnn on this Yaaaannnnnnnkee boy

  C       G
