[Intro]
E A E A
[Verse 1]
E A My woman always talked about the New York City life B7 E She never really wanted to be a country boy's wife E A Opening nights on Broadway were always on her mind B7 E A E A She couldn't seem to live without what she called the New York Times
[Verse 2]
E A I walked in from work one day and didn't find her home B7 E But I didn't have to wonder long figured where she'd gone E A Love was all I had to give so she left me behind B7 E To go up there somewhere looking for the New York Times
[Chorus]
A E Hey, New York City won't you have a little pity on this poor Texas country boy? B7 E Somewhere 'round your big apple town, I've lost my pride and joy A E I've walked up and down every street around 'til I think I'm going out of my mind B7 E A F Bb If I don't find my baby today, I'll run an ad in the New York Times
[Verse 3]
F Bb I've been down 5th Avenue even up old Broadway C7 F And I've searched all the honky-tonks like the Lone Star Café F Bb Lord, I wish I could give her up and erase her from my heart C7 F But here I stand, a broken man in the middle of Central Park
[Chorus]
Bb F Hey, New York City won't you have a little pity on this poor Texas country boy? C7 F Somewhere 'round your big apple town, I've lost my pride and joy Bb F I've walked up and down every street around 'til I think I'm going out of my mind C7 F If I don't find my baby today, I'll run an ad in the New York Times C7 F Bb C7 F Well, if I don't find my baby today, just read about it in the New York Times
