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 F#m Em
New York city man, you just say "go" and that is that
D                                                       G F#m Em
I'm a New York city man, you just say "go" and that 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                                                     G F#m Em
M-A-N-N man, you blink your eyes, honey, and I'll be gone
             D                                   G F#m Em
New York city man, you blink your eyes and I'll gone





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

[Outro]
E                       G#m                  A    B
New York city, I love you, New York city man
         E               G#m                               A B
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
New York city, ooohhh, I love you New York city,
E            G#m               A             B
baby, blink your eyes and I'll be gone I love you
