[Verse]
                     C7           
I used to think that New York city
                     C7 
Fell from grace with God
Gm7 G7        A7    
And innocence abroad
D7                             
■  Waged a war for the underdog
Gm          G7         C7                  Gm7                         Eb7
■  When the snow falls ■  and Central Park looks like a Christmas card ■  
              A7         D7    
I just looked beyond the bagman
        C7      D7              Gm   Gm7 
And the madness that makes this city hard
C7 G7 Gm7 C7 G7
■  ■  ■   ■  ■ 
          C7        
I heard a basketball
Gm7                    C7               Gm7
Somewhere out beyond a chain link fence ■  
           A7        D7                                 
Inner city prisoners argue for the right of self defense
G7  Gm        Gm7       
But there's a fast break
C7                    Gm7                    Bbm  Eb7
And every work of art wakes something in the soul ■  
Bbm               D7           
Just focus on the brush strokes
        C        D7       Gm      Gm7  C7 Gm7
And the bouquets that the dancers hold ■  ■  


[Chorus]
C7 B7                          G         
■  Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
C                        G    
Yeah Mona Lisa's getting older
B7                             Em     
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
        Gb7            Bm        G                   C    
While I walk along the West side down through little Italy
F                     
Searching for the city
D7   F             Gm7    Gm Gm7 
That took away the kid in me yeah
C7       
Yeah yeah
