E Amaj7
Ooohh New York (x2)
E Amaj7
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
E Amaj7
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
E Amaj7
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
E Amaj7
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Pre-Chorus:
G#
Even if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Chorus:
Amaj7
Baby, I'm from New York
E
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
B
There's nothing you can't do
Amaj7
Now you're in New York
E
These streets will make you feel brand new
B
Big lights will inspire you
Amaj7
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!
E Amaj7
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
E Amaj7
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
E Amaj7
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
E Amaj7
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge
Pre-Chorus
G#
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Chorus:
Amaj7
Baby, I'm from New York
E
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can't do

These street will make you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

Hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

One hand in the air for the big city,
B
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
C#m
No place in the world that can com-pare
G#
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus:
Amaj7
In New York
E
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
B
There's nothing you can't do
Amaj7
Now you're in New York
E
These streets will make you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you
