        E                     A
Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine

            E                        A
We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry

E                         B7                      E         B7
New York, New York is a friend to the traveling kind

      E                     A
And I'm coming around from years of hard times

      E                          A
He's chased me down through the towns and the miles

       E                     B7              E
Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
[Chorus] (both)

And if you feel my love won't leave you

                   F#m                B7        N.C.
And if your sorrow -   has been your share

             E       A          E
If you are traveling -  back to Georgia

Well I'm long gone darling, lonesome blue

        E                           A
I been thinking of leaving, I been thinking of you

         E                  B7                           E     B7
But that big city singing, man I like the way that it shines
(Both)
       E                        A
I was half a mile from Canada waiting on a train

  E                            A
Wondering and wishing I could disappear again

          E                     B7                          E
I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line

       E                      A
Well I've been troubled by a love untrue

        E                            A
It's a fool who will drown in his fountain of youth

      E                     B7                      E    B7
I can see that now as I'm walking and talking with you
(both)
             E                    A
Well I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain

   E                           A
Scattered in America, and I'm scatterin' again

        E                         B7                          E
But if you're going south darling, I guess I'm traveling with you
