Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  saw  a rainbow stretched  across the ocean
Crashed  the Big Apple
So  I took  a bite
Found  a taste I like
But  she  bit me back
I  jumped  across the ocean
Found  a Big Apple
So  I took  a bite
She  teased  me with a taste
Laid my  soul to waste
Stabbed  me in the back
Hell's  Kitchen is a DMZ
I  ain't  never coming back
Hell's  Kitchen is a DMZ
I  ain't never  coming back
Pressure  never stops
Pressure  never drops
Lennon  got fried
Said it  was a crime
Said it  was a pity
No  one  even cried
 (x2)
Hell's  Kitchen is a crazy  place
I  ain't never  coming back
Hell's  Kitchen is a crazy  place
I  ain't never coming back
New York City,  New  York  City
New York City,  New  York  City
Hell's  Kitchen is a DMZ
 I'm never coming back, no
Disneyland  trash can baby
 It'll give you a heart attack
Times  Square shuffle, Manhattan flip
 Twenty four hour groove
Working  up a frenzy baby
 People push on through
(x2)
I  jumped  across the ocean
Found  a Big Apple
So  I took  a bite
She  teased  me with a taste
Laid my  soul to waste
Stabbed  me in the back
Hell's  Kitchen is a crazy  place
I  ain't never coming  back
Hell's  Kitchen  is a DMZ
 I ain't never  coming back
Oh, new  york  city
Wake  up, yeah, in the new  york  city
Well, new  york  city,  yeah, yeah
New  york  city
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Shake it up, do it now
 Shake it up, bells ringing
 I'm shooting on the hip now
 I'm shooting on the hip now, baby
 I'm shooting on the hip now
 Oh, new york city
