Strumming
Capo: 2
Tuning:
Original author: Aron Radford (Ultimate Guitar version 2)
Formatting / Chord Timing / Fixed Lyrics / Strum Pattern: Wheezy E
This version is very similar to version 2, but I wanted to format this tab to make the timing more obvious
for the fast-paced lyrics. Note: I've written Houston St phonetically as "Howsten Street" since it's a
non-standard pronunciation for that street name in New York ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Street ).

Gshuffled through the city on a C/GFourth of July, I had a

GBreakin' like a robber who was C/Gmakin' his way to the
C/Gcities of MexicGo.
GLived in an apartment out on C/GAvenue A. Had a
C/Gtar-hut on the corner of GTenth.
GHad myself a lover who was C/Gfiner than gold, but I been
C/Gbroken up and busted up Gsince

C/Gwallet and it stayed pretty Ggood. Still-a
Gmazed I didn't lose it on the C/Groof of the place when I was
C/Gdrunk and I was thinking of Gyou.
GEvery day the children they were C/Gsinging their tunes out on the
C/Gstreets and you could hear from inGside.
GUsed to take the subway up to C/GHowsten and Third. I would
C/Gwait for you and not try to Ghide.
