New York City (v Elmes/m Blakley)
1st verse
A
Through the night I gambled
E A
I played a real cool hand
People still remember
E A
They say "There goes that man"
E A
"Who always found four aces"
E A
Lady luck was mine
E A
'Cos I fought and won life's battles
G D A
and I made it just in time
2nd verse
"Come on make up the number"
That's all they had to say
"We'll take him for a ride"
It made me wanna stay
Well I taught them a lesson
To stop them foolin' round
The crowd, they really gathered
To see me break 'em down
Chorus
A E A
New York city, she's a friend of mine
A E A
New York city, she's a friend of mine
D A
People think I cheat and lie
E A
But I don't really care
D A
'Cos in New York city now
G D A
People never stare
Well I taught them a lesson
To stop them foolin' round
The crowd, they really gathered
To see me break 'em down
Chorus
