Am  Am/G    D                G  G7  G6  G
  I used to live in New York City

Am  Am/G     Dm                 G  G7  G6  G
  Everything there was dark and dirty

Am   Am/G    Dm            G  Eb  Cm7  G
  Outside my window was a steeple

Am                  Ab                 G     Gadd11  G
  with a clock that always said twelve-thirty
[Chorus]
C                              G7
 Young girls are coming to the canyon

F           Am                      G7
 And in the mornings I can see them walking

C                        G7
 I can no longer keep my blinds drawn

F            Fm               C
 And I can't keep myself from talking
[Verse 2]
Am  Am/G       D                  G  G7  G6  G
 At first, so strange, to feel so friendly

Am  Am/G     Dm                 G    G7  G6  G
 To say good morning and really mean it

Am  Am/G       Dm           G       Eb  Cm7  G
 To feel these changes happening in me

Am            Ab          G      Gadd11  G
 But not to notice till I feel it
[Chorus]
C                              G7
 Young girls are coming to the canyon

F           Am                      G7
 And in the mornings I can see them walking

C                        G7
 I can no longer keep my blinds drawn

F            Fm               C
 And I can't keep myself from talking
[Verse 3]
Am  Am/G   D                G  G7  G6  G
    Cloudy waters cast no reflection

Am   Am/G   Dm                G  G7  G6  G
  Images of beauty lie there stagnant

Am  Am/G     Dm             G  Eb  Cm7  G
  Vibrations bounce in no direction

Am             Ab             G        G7
 And lie there shattered into fragments
[Chorus]
C                              G7
 Young girls are coming to the canyon (Young girls are coming to the canyon)

F           Am                      G7
 And in the mornings I can see them walking (In the mornings I can see them walking)

C                        G7
 I can no longer keep my blinds drawn (I can no longer keep my blinds drawn)

F            Fm               C
 And I can't keep myself from talking

C                              G7
 Young girls are coming to the canyon

F           Am                      G7
 And in the mornings I can see them walking
