E                                 G#m
It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart
A                                    Am
If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March
       E                                      G#m
I'd prefer you were straight forward You don't have to 
go through all of that
      A                        Am
I'm a New York city man, baby Say "go" and that is that

[Chorus]
D                                                 G 
New York city man, you just say "go" and that is 
F#m Em
that
D                                                    
I'm a New York city man, you just say "go" and that 
   G F#m Em
is that

[Verse 2]
E                       G#m
It's far too complicated to make up a lie
     A                          Am
That you'd have to remember and really why
  E                                 G#m
I wouldn't want to be around you If you don't want to 
have me around
      A
I'm a M-A-N-N man
    Am
You Blink your eyes and I'll gone

[Chorus]
D                                                  
M-A-N-N man, you blink your eyes, honey, and I'll be 
   G F#m Em
gone
             D                                   G F#m 
New York city man, you blink your eyes and I'll gone
Em


[Verse 3]
E                                 G#m
Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed
A                            Am
Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain
E                           G#m
Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play
A                                    Am
But I'm no Lear with blinded eyes Say " go " and I am 
gone
E                                         G#m
The stars have shut their eyes up tight The earth has 
changed it's course
A                                           Am
A Kingdom sits on a black knight's back As he tries to 
mount a white jeweled horse
E                                             G#m
While a clock full of butterflies on the hour Releases 
a thousand moths
A                                    Am
You say " leave" and I'll be gone Without any remorse
A                                    Am
No letters faxes phones or tears There's a difference 
between Bad and worse

[Chorus]
D                                                 G 
I'm a New York city man, blink your eyes and I'll be
F#m Em
 gone
             D                                    G F#m
New York city - man, blink your eyes and I'll be gone
 Em

E                       G#m                  A    B
New York city, I love you, New York city man
         E               G#m                           
New York city, I love you, blink your eyes and I'll be

gone   Just a little grain of sand
E            G#m               A             B
