D-DU-UDU
Oh, I packed up suit cases,
One for clothes one for dreams,
And on the five hour flight I made my fool proof schemes,
That I'd eat the big apple not choke on the seeds,
-> ->
and they'd name a street after me,
but this was not destined to be,
'Cause every actor, model, musician, in the food industry,
Smiles for tips to afford their 300 square feet,
and at the end of auditions all they hear is "next please",
-> ->
So at night they drop to their knees,
"God can you still hear me?",
So welcome to New York aren't you lonely now?,
Even your God's lost you in the crowd, amongst the sound,
Of eight million people who's hearts make man's choir,
Hoping hearts can reach higher then man can build,
On the sidewalks and subways,
Where dreams are for sale,
Live the giant sized, judging eyes of those who've yet to fail,
Staring into the faces,
Behind open guitar cases,
-> ->
Belting just so they can hear,
Past the ringing of the city in their ears,
So welcome to New York aren't you lonely now?,
Even your God's lost you in the crowd, amongst the sound,
Of eight million people who's hearts make man's choir,
Hoping hearts can reach higher then man can build,
The Chorus is then repeated twice, with a key change up for each. So the first
repetition follows the progression:
etc.
So welcome to New York. . .
The second repetition follows the progression:
, , etc.
So..., to..., New..., lonely now. . .
Enjoy.
