Strum

D-DU-UDU

I said, hey little girl

Take me by the hand

Walk with me down this boardwalk

One last time again

We're gonna see those pretty pier lights

Hear those carnival sounds

Well we'll stop right at the top tonight

As this ferris wheel goes round

Now you say that I'm wrestless

You don't understand

Tomorrow I'll be leavin' on that mornin' train

I'm gonna leave this candy apple town behind

And get out while I still can

I'm goin to New York City

With this guitar in my hand

And I've been wishin' on these stars too long

And I've been playing in these bars too long

I've been hold up in your arms too long

I've been a prisoner of my heart too long

I'm goin to New York City

To find out where I stand

And I'll be walking down Broadway

With this guitar in my hand

** Guitar Solo ** (Pick down and up through G, C9 and D chords - listen to the song to get the feel)

Now I sing for these tourists

Bout' a dream life on the water

But when that dream gets broken

This life gets harder and harder

I gotta leave this candy apple town behind

And get out while I still can

I'm goin' to New York City

With this guitar in my hand

And I've been wishin' on these stars too long

And I've been playing in these bars too long

I've been hold up in your arms too long

I've been a prisoner of my heart too long

I'm goin to New York City

To find out where I stand

And I'll be walking down Broadway

With this guitar in my hand
