[Intro] A [Verse]
A                   A
Livin' in a city of immigrants

A                   D
 I don't need to go travelin'

D                    D
Open my door and the world walks in

E                   A
Livin' in a city of immigrants

A                     A
Livin' in a city that never sleeps

   A                       D
My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats

D                    D
Singin' in languages I don't speak

E                   A            A
Livin' in a city of immigrants
[Chorus]
        E              A
City of black, City of white

City of light, City of innocents

        E              A
City of sweat, City of tears

City of prayers, City of immigrants

A                          A
Livin' in a city where the dreams of men

A                     D
Reach up to touch the sky and then

D                    D
Tumble back down to earth again

Livin' in a city that never quits

A                          A
Livin' in a city where the streets are paved

      A                    D
With good intentions and a people's faith

       D                D
In the sacred promise a statue made

E                   A
Livin' in a city of immigrants
[Chorus]
        E              A
City of stone, City of steel

        E                  A
City of wheels, Constantly spinnin'

        E             A
City of bone, City of skin

        E             A
City of pain, City of immigrants

All of us are immigrants –

    A                       D
The river flows out and the sea rolls in

D                    D
Washin' away nearly all of my sins
