 [G]  Well I shuffled through the city  [C/G]  on the Fourth of July
Had a firecracker waiting to blow  [G]
 [G]  Breaking like a robber  [C]  who was making his way
To the cities of Mexico  [G]
 [G]  Lived in an apartment out  [C/G]  on Avenue A
Had a tar on the corner of Tenth  [G]
 [G]  Had myself a lover who was  [C]  finer than gold
But I been broke I?ve been busted up since  [G]

 [D]  Love don?t play  [G]  any  [D]  games with me  [G]
Anymore [C]  like she did before
 [D]  World won?t  [G]  wait so I  [D]  better shake
That  [C]  thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still  [D]  love you New York

  [G] [G] [C] [G] [C/G]   [C/G] [C/G] [G] [G]   [G] [G] [C] [G] [C/G]   [C/G] [C/G] [G] [G]

 [G]  Found myself a picture that would  [C/G]  fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good  [G]
 [G]  Still amazed I didn?t lose it out on  [C]  Lutheran Place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you  [G]
 [G]  Every day the children they were  [C/G]  singing the tunes
Out on the streets and you could hear from the side  [G]
 [G]  Used to take the subway out of  [C]  Houston and Third
I would wait for you and not try to hide  [G]

 [D]  Love won?t  [G]  play any  [D]  games with you  [G]
Anymore  [C]  if you don?t want her to
 [D]  World won?t  [G]  wait I  [D]  watched you shake  [G]
But  [C]  honey I don?t blame you
Hell, I still  [D]  love you New York

  [G] [G] [C] [G] [C/G]   [C/G] [C/G] [G] [G]   [G] [G] [C] [G] [C/G]   [C/G] [C/G] [G] [G]

 [G]  I remember Christmas  [C/G]  in the blistering cold
In a church on the Upper West Side  [G]
 [G]  Babe, you stood there singing I was  [C]  holding you arm
You were holding my trust like a child  [G]
 [G]  Found a lot of trouble out on  [C/G]  Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low  [G]
 [G]  Farewell to the city and the  [C]  love of my life
As we left before we had to go  [G]

 [D]  Love won?t  [G]  play any  [D]  games with you  [G]
Anymore  [C]  if you don?t want her to
 [D]  Sweep and  [G]  shake this old  [D]  thing out the  [G]  door
I?ll  [C]  always be thinking of you
I?ll always  [D]  love you though New York

Ending; | [G] [G] [C]/[G] [C/G] | [C/G] [C/G] [G] [G] | X4 to fade
(the last few G chords should be Gsus, played as 3X0013).

Thanks to the person who posted the original copy and I hope my modest
 alterations help make this wonderful song sound even more enjoyable
to play.
