Gm7                  C
i used to think that new york city
Gm7                  C
fell from grace with god
Gm7           A+
and innocence abroad
D7
waved a war for the underdog
Gm7
when the snow falls 
C                      Gm7              Eb7
and central park looks like a chirstmas card
A/C#                    D7
i just look beyond that bagman
        C           D           Gm7        C7  Gm7 C7
and the maddess that makes this city hard

Gm7       C
i heard a baskettball
Gm7                       C
somewhere out beyond a chain link fence
Gm7         A+
inner city prisoners
D7
argue for the right of self defense
Gm7           
but theres a fast break
C                     Gm7                    Eb7
and every work of art brakes something in my soul
A/C#               D7
just focus on the cross strokes
        C         D        Gm7
and the bouquets that the dancers hold

B7                          Em

C                       G7

B7                       Em
stading in the shadow of miss liberty
        F#             B
while i walk along the west side
G                   C
