[Intro]
F# G# Bm F#
[Verse 1]
F# G# Life and death in an alleyway Bm F# Just a heartbeat away from a man F# G# Who's learned to turn his head away Bm F# From the pain that drains the land E B Harlem's not too far from here Bm F# You can smell the garbage, feel the fear A7 Dmaj7 I hear they're gonna build a sky-scraper there G#m7 C#7 A#m7 D#m7 G#m As if we didn't need the extra air
C#7
[Chorus]
F# A#m New York city blues G#m C#7 In order to win, you gotta lose F# A#m Old before your time G#m7 The dirt and the grime C#7 Get into everything A#m7 D#m7 And the papers love to say Bmaj7 E7 It's the meanest town in the USA F# B C# F# But I think it's OK, it's the town I've made my home
[Verse 2]
F# G# On another side of Park Avenue Bm F# Respectable folks don't know F# G# Hungry eyes take in the view Bm F# Of the world that lays them low E B Too many years on a welfare line Bm F# The old song and dance time after time A7 Dmaj7 You can only get so pushed around G#m7 C#7 A#m7 D#m7 G#m Until you wanna tear the damn thing down
C#7
