 Em
The morning came today,

                   Am
With rain and sheets of grey,

                Em
The subway rocked me out of bed,

                C        Em
To take me on my way.

G                Bm
Where'er I go I go in style,

                    Em
Each and every mile,

                   C               D
You know, I'm not alone,

                    G           C       G
New York is my home.
[Verse 2]
           Em
I got a girl up in the Bronx,

                   Am
She treats me like a king,

                   Em
I'll give her anything she wants,

                C   Em
She is my everything.

           G               Bm
She can be hard as concrete,

                         Em
Soft as a summer breeze,

          C                     D
We can wake the dark,

                    G
New York is my home.
[Chorus 1]
C
New York is calling me,

                 G
It's on the phone,

                   Am7
It's like the rooftop songs,

                 D7
Up from the cobblestones.
(Stop strumming) [Verse 3]
                    Em
You will never hear me say,

                Am
"The city street's too loud,"

            Em
I hear a gospel hymn

            C            Em
In every passing crowd.

   G                        Bm
It trails me and it tails me down,

   Em
To central park,

        C               D
Even after dark,

                    G           C G
New York is my home.
[Chorus 2]
C
New York is calling me,

                G
And now I find,

            Am7
The city never sleeps,

           D7
It's my state of mind.
[Verse 4]
    Em
The breezes blow,

                                 Am
And take me where the Hudson never flows,

                 Em
The harbour light shines on the piers,

                  C         Am7
As all young lovers know.

         G              Bm
I can touch the world,

                            Em
As it sails in from everywhere,

           C            D
I'm not alone,

                    G           C       G
New York is my home.
[Chorus 3]
C
New York is calling me,

                G
And now I find,

            Am7
The city never sleeps,

           D7            G        C G C D7
It's my state of mind.
[Verse 5]
    Em
The breezes blow,

                                 Am
And take me where the Hudson never flows,

                 Em
The harbour light shines on the piers,

                  C         Am7
As all young lovers know.

         G              Bm
I can touch the world,

                            Em
As it sails in from everywhere,

           C            D
I'm not alone,

                    G
New York is my home.

           C            D
I'm not alone,

            Em
New York is my home.
[Outro] G C D7 Em
