[G] [A] [D]
[Bmmm] [mmmm] [mmmmm] [mmmm]
The s[D]now got much too d[G]eep for me in De[D]nver
The r[G]ain fell way too h[A]ard out in L.[D]A.
I c[G]ouldn't stand the san[A]dstorms in West T[D]exas
That's [G]all it took for me to be on my w[A7]ay
Then a [D]friend told me about the p[G]eaches down in Ge[D]orgia
He said the [G]weather's fine, boy the l[A]ivin' sure fits your s[D]tyle
Well that's w[G]hy I'm on this wo[A]rk gang in the h[D]ot sun
With a re[G]dneck judge gettin' r[A7]eady for an unfair tr[D]ial
CHORUS:
But there's a l[G]ady on my m[A]ind in New York C[D]ity
[G]All along she's bu[A]rned a torch for [D]me
[G]She stands proud and [A]tall in New York [D]Harbor
And in [G]time I know she'll [A]see that I go f[D]ree
[G] [A] [D]
[Bmmm] [mmm] [mmm] [mmmm]
(key change to E)
The [E]man told me I'd better c[A]hange my way of li[E]vin'
He said now [A]we got laws just m[B]ade for the likes of y[E]ou
We ai[A]n't got time for y[B]our kind here in th[E]is town
He just w[A]ouldn't believe I was only passin' t[B7]hru
Now l[E]et me be the first to s[A]ay there's gotta be some [E]changes
And he [A]may be right, some ch[B]anges oughta be in [E]me
But the s[A]ame damn law that [B]put me on this w[E]ork gang
Give y[A]ou and me the ri[B7]ght to disa[E]gree
CHORUS:
There's a [A]lady on my [B7]mind in New York Ci[E]ty
[A]All along she's bu[B7]rned a torch for m[E]e
[A]She stands proud and t[B7]all in New York H[E]arbor
And in ti[A]me I know she'll [B7]see that I go fr[E]ee
Hmmm m[A]mmm m[B7]mmm m[E]mmm (4x)
Don't like the B chord? There're 2 things you can do.
First, play all the B chords as B7 (takes out some of the "punch" when you come to a
B7, but it's easier).
Second, play the song with a capo on II, and use the following chords:
D = C
G = F
A = G
A7 = G7
E = D
B = A
B7 = A7
