I ^Aremember it like it was yesterday ^GSnow in the park and ^Dm/Fskaters on the ice ^ELong black cars standing ^Dside-by-side ^A/C#Loading up the ^G/Bboys at ^Dnight

Turned up our ^Acollars to the chill of the wind Caught an ^Ginnocent smile from a ^Dm/Ftaxi at the lights Not ^Esomething you'd see on a ^DNew York street It's ^A/C#such an un^G/Bcommon ^Dsight

But I ^Bbwouldn't have it any ^C/Bbother way This ^F/Acity's got a thing about ^Bbit, don't ^Bbtry to ^A7/C#understan^Dmd it ^DNew York City I'd really ^Gmlike to stay ^C9New York City I wouldn't have you ^BbI wouldn't ^F/Ahave you ^Ebany ^C/Eother ^Fway

Oh the ^Asubway rumbled underneath I^Gtalian lights where ^Dm/FJoey Gallo died And the ^Eman on the door down at 5^D4's Is letting ^A/C#only the ^G/Bpretty ^Dinside

I'd ^Awake with a stranger under the covers ^GLate in the day and ^Dm/Flonging for the night ^EJust like the snowfall there's ^Dso many bodies But ^A/C#somehow it ^G/Bfeels so ^Dright

But I ^Bbwouldn't have it any ^C/Bbother way This ^F/Acity's got a thing about ^Bbit, don't ^Bbtry to ^A7/C#understan^Dmd it ^DNew York City I'd really ^Gmlike to stay ^C9New York City I wouldn't have you ^BbI wouldn't ^F/Ahave you ^Ebany ^C/Eother ^Fway

And ^DmI can feel the ^A7magic And ^Dmread a million ^A7lips No ^Bbamount of what might h^F/Aappen Will ^Ebever ^Bb/Dsink this ^Fship

But I ^Bbwouldn't have it any ^C/Bbother way This ^F/Acity's got a thing about ^Bbit, don't ^Bbtry to ^A7/C#understan^Dmd it ^DNew York City I'd really ^Gmlike to stay ^C9New York City I wouldn't have you ^BbI wouldn't ^F/Ahave you ^Bb I wouldn't ^F/Ahave you ^Ebany ^C/Eother ^Fway ^BbI wouldn't ^F/Ahave you Bb | F/A Eb C/E F F Bb/F | F Bb/F | F Any other way
