[Verse 1]
G             D/A                   E             
New York city spread herself before you

         C               G                D        G
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars

         D/A                 E
You were impressed, with the city so undressed

    C             D                 G
You had to go out cruising all the bars
[Verse 2]
     G             D/A                      E   
Your business trip extended through the weekend

  C          G                   D  
Suburban boy here for your first time

         G       D/A E    
From the 27th floor, above the midtown roar

         C                D               G
You were startled, by her beauty, and her crime
[Chorus]
          Dm                                Cmaj7
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie

      Dm                              Cmaj7
She's every dame you've ever known on late night TV

       Em        Baug         G/B        Em/C#    Cmaj7      
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

      B7
Endlessly
[Refrain]
G             D/A          E
New York is a woman she'll make you cry

C                 D/A              G
And to her you're just another guy
[Verse 3]
G             D/A               E
Look down and see her ruined places

C                   G             D
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky

      G                 D/A      E
She's happy that you're here but when you disappear

    C                      D                   G 
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
[Instrumental] Dm Cmaj7 Dm Cmaj7 Em Baug G/B Em/C# Cmaj7 B7 [Refrain]
G             D/A          E
New York is a woman she'll make you cry

C                 D                G
And to her you're just another guy
[Chorus]
          Dm                                Cmaj7
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie

      Dm                              Cmaj7
She's every dame you've ever known on late night TV

       Em        Baug         G/B        Em/C#    Cmaj7      
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

Desperately
[Refrain]

New York is a woman she'll make you cry

C                 D                G
And to her you're just another guy
