Capo 1 

verse 1 

G             D/F#                   E 
New York City spread herself before you 
         C                G               D/F# 
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars 

G         D/F#               E 
You were impressed with the city so undressed 
    C              D               G 
You had to go out cruising all the bars 

verse 2 

G                  D/F#                    E 
Your business trip extended through the weekend 
C             G                  D/F# 
Suburban boy here for your first time 
        G     D/F#   E 
From the 27th floor above the midtown roar 
         C              D              G 
You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime

          Dm                              Cmaj7 
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie 
Dm                              Cmaj7 
Every dame you've ever known on late night TV 
       Em        Em/D         Cmaj7       Em/C# 
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel 
  B7 
Endlessly 

verse 3 

G             D/F#         E 
New York is a woman she'll make you cry 
C                 D            G 
And to her you're just another guy 

G             D/F#           E 
Look down and see her ruined places 
C                   G             D 
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky 
      G                 D/F#      E 
She's happy that you're here but when you disappear 
          C                D           G 
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye 


[Refrão]
          Dm                              Cmaj7 
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie 
Dm                              Cmaj7 
Every dame you've ever known on late night tv 
       Em        Em/D         Cmaj7       Em/C# 
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel 
B7 
Desperately

New York is a woman she'll make you cry

And to her you're just another guy
