This is my first song. Let me know if anything is wrong.
Capo 2nd
[recording]
Bronx bound 1, 42nd street times square next.
Stand clear of the closing doors
G,Em,D,C,D  
GBronx bound uptown, that's my line.
Don't lEmook like much, but it's all mine.
The eDnd of the road is all I know,
C242nd street, I'm almost home.C  
The roGar of the crowd from Gaelic Park
Emunderage guinness at the terminal bar
the liDghts on broadway never looked so fine
as they Cdo underneath the oDne and nine
Well the dEmin of the subway cars 
Csounds like a heavenly choir
and the shEmower of sparks they bring
Cshine like angels' Dwings
and the wEmriting on the concrete walls
is all I Gneed
to lead me to salvatCion
underneaDth the one and nGine
Gjam packed nights at sam mcguire's
Emthat's where I first caught the fire 
I juDmped on stage, sang dirty old town
it bCroke my heart when that jDoint closed down
Well the dEmin of the subway cars 
Csounds like a heavenly choir
and the shEmower of sparks they bring
Cshine like angels' Dwings
and the wEmriting on the concrete walls
is all I Gneed
to lead me to salvatCion
underneaDth the one and nGine
*Not sure of the chords, if you know them, let me know* 
I met my love by the gas works wall
I dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
It's a Dirty old town
It's a Dirty old town
its a woGrld of troubles
I sure had some
I don't kEmnow where I'm going
but I know where I'm from
I'm from nDew york town, the very best part
with the gCuts and the grit and the lDove and the heart
    G(Hold)                      
so when my time has finally come
       G  Em(Hold)
buy me one last token for one last run
       Em  D(Hold)
with a sweet slow song, and a bottle of wine
Cspread my ashes neath the one and nine
G,Em,D,
C(hold)                         C,G  
242nd Street, I'm almost home

Capo 2nd

[recording]

Bronx bound 1, 42nd street times square next.

Stand clear of the closing doors

G Em D C D

,,,,

Bronx bound uptown, that's my line.

Don't look like much, but it's all mine.

The end of the road is all I know,

C C

242nd street, I'm almost home.

The roar of the crowd from Gaelic Park

underage guinness at the terminal bar

the lights on broadway never looked so fine

C D

as they do underneath the one and nine

Well the din of the subway cars

sounds like a heavenly choir

and the shower of sparks they bring

C D

shine like angels' wings

and the writing on the concrete walls

is all I need

to lead me to salvation

D G

underneath the one and nine

jam packed nights at sam mcguire's

that's where I first caught the fire

I jumped on stage, sang dirty old town

C D

it broke my heart when that joint closed down

Well the din of the subway cars

sounds like a heavenly choir

and the shower of sparks they bring

C D

shine like angels' wings

and the writing on the concrete walls

is all I need

to lead me to salvation

D G

underneath the one and nine

*Not sure of the chords, if you know them, let me know*

I met my love by the gas works wall

I dreamed a dream by the old canal

I Kissed my girl by the factory wall

It's a Dirty old town

its a world of troubles

I sure had some

I don't know where I'm going

but I know where I'm from

I'm from new york town, the very best part

C D

with the guts and the grit and the love and the heart

(Hold)

so when my time has finally come

G Em

(Hold)

buy me one last token for one last run

Em D

(Hold)

with a sweet slow song, and a bottle of wine

spread my ashes neath the one and nine

G Em D

C C G

(hold) ,

242nd Street, I'm almost home
