GOIN DOWN TO NEW YORK TOWN
COUNTING CROWS
INTRO: G  
Csus2= 020010
GWell I feel just like a freight train baby,
running out of steam.
I wanna Em7go on down to New York town,
but I'm stuck in between.
And I could Dstay on here at home alone
and have myself to thank,
But I just Cmade a billion dollars
and I don't wanna put it in the bank,
So if you Dcall...C  
we could go to Gtown.
Well dear mom,
if you could see me now here underneath the lights
I gotta kEm7eep 'em on from dusk to dawn
and everything's alright.
I met a Dgirl with autumn in her eyes
and summer in the way
She mCakes me feel
like I was only born today or yesterday,
And if she cDalls...C  
we could go to Amtown.
But everybody here
hates everything I say,
and Emgirl I just don't know
if I can last another day.
So I guAmess I'm going back,
Bmback where I belong,
I hCope you come along
before I gDet back on that train that takes me...
Ghome from New York City
to the things I left behind
And 'though Em7I ain't got no money girl
, I'll always have the time.
But I wDish that you would hurry,
I hope you get here soon
'cause I just Csold the sky Csusto the sun
so I could Am7buy for you the mGoon.
And if you Dcall...C  
we could go to Gtown. So if you Dcall.C..
yeah, if you cDall..C.
girl, if you cDall.C..
we could go to Gtown.
End on G
