New York City Song

Tom: Dm

    *F/G
    Said, hey little girl
    Take me by the hand
    Walk with me down this boardwalk
    One last time again
         Bb
    Well see those pretty pier lights
                          F/G
    Hear those carnival sounds
                Bb
    Well we'll stop right at the top tonight
   C                            F/G
    When the ferris wheel goes round


    F/G
    And I sang for these tourists
    And dreamed life on the water
    When the dream it gets broken
    'Cause life it gets harder and harder
   Bb
    Leave this candy apple town behind
                          F/G
    Get out while I still can
              Bb
    Going to New York City
   C                       F/G
    With this guitar in my hand

                       Bb
    And wishing these stars too long
                     F/G
    Playing in these bars too long
                         Bb
    And hold up in your arms too long
                                F/G
    Been a prisoner of my heart too long


             Bb
    Going to New York City
                          F/G
    And find out where I stand
                  C
    And I'll be walking down Broadway
   Bb                      F/G
    With this guitar in my hand

    NOTE: *F/G  is played like this [x x 3 2 1 3]


    NOTE: The words and chords were taken directly from the
          VHS movie "EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS II - EDDIE LIVES".
          I noticed that on the soundtrack the N.Y.C. Song
          (Cafferty) - 5:07 is a lot longer..............
