CAPO 4 (Adjusted for easier chords)
       G D AmC
Intro: , , , .
         G                       D
Verse 1: There was this girl i used to see
Am         C
down on 42nd street
G                     D
she'd walk by on her way to work 
             Am            C
and make the air smell so sweet
( Chords same as 1st verse )
I used to sit in a coffee shop
sometimes i'd have a cup
 when she'd got by she'd light up the sky
like the sun coming up
she'd be standing by the bus stop
driver opened up the door
i'd just sit and watch her 
getting on the 104
G                   D
I wanna give her my number
Am                  C
wanna tell her my name 
G                         D
wanna climb on board that cross-town bus
Am                          D
take a chance she feels the same
        G        D              Am   C
Chorus:                              
        Its just another east side story
        G          D             Am   D
        everybody's got a tale to tell
        G           D             Am      C
        and like a hundred guys befroe me
      G   D                Am    D
        i fell under her spell
       G---
        Its just another east side story
( Chords same as 1st verse )
        Some things you hold on to
        some you just let go
        seems like the ones which you cant have
        are the ones you want the most
        I think about her sometimes
        i wonder if she was real
        and if i ever find her
        i'm gonna tell her how i feel
-Chorus-
Verse 3: 
        Am
        Its still the same old story
        Em
        its still the same old game
        C
        up there on the east side
        D
        life goes on the same
        Am
        She never knew my number
        Em
        never ever knew my name
        C
        she climbed on board that cross-town bus
           D
        i never saw her again
Chorus
       G D Am                  C                G
Ending:, ,                                      
                         Its just another east side story.
