[Intro]
G   Cx2
GOoh... CNew York
GOoh... CNew York
[Verse 1]
GGrew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie Cscenes
GNoise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are Cmean
GIf I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they sCay
GSeeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broad-CwayG  
BEven if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocket full of dreams
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm fCrom New York
EmConcrete jungle Cwhere dreams are Gmade of
There's nothing you can't Ddo
Now you're in New CYork
EmThese streets will make you feel Gbrand new
Big lights will inspDire you
Hear it from GNew York, New York, CNew York
[Verse 2]
GOn the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so ChardG  
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to CGodG  
Hail a gypsy-cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn CBridgeG  
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty frCidgeG  
BI'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocket full of dreams
[Chorus]
Baby, CI'm from New EmYork
CConcrete jungle where dreams are Gmade of
There's nothing you Dcan't do
Now you're in CNew York
These streets will make you feel Gbrand new
Big lights will inspDire you
Hear it from CNew York, New York, New York!
[Verse 3]
COne hand in the air for the big city,
CStreet lights, big dreams all looking pretty
DNo place in the world that can compare
EmPut your lighters in the air, everybody say Byeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
CIn New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are maGde of
There's nothing you canD't do
Now you're in New CYork
These streets will make you feel brGand new
Big lights will inspDire you
Hear it from CNew York
Concrete jungle where dreams are maGde of
There's nothing you canD't do
Now you're in New CYork
These streets will make you feel brGand new
Big lights will inspDire you
