New York Song

Dm C F Gm A  Dm C F A
Dm A  Dm F   Dm A Gm  A Gm A

Dm     C             F
In the winter it was so, so cold
     Gm                 A
The fish all died, the harbour froze
      Dm          C             F
There was nothing left for the 
               A
crows to do but wait
     Gm  Bb    A
And they said....


           Dm
They said being here is better than 
wishing we'd stayed
      A
Yes, being here is seeming to be the
 way
    Dm             F          Bb 
Oh being here is better than 
          A
wishing we had stayed...

Dm A  Dm F   Dm Bbm  Gm A  Gm A


Continues after the ad
      Dm          C          F
They stayed under water for so,so 
long
      Gm                        A
They wait for the spring when the 
ice will thaw
     Dm     C              F
And frozen parts will be filled with
 song
        Gm            F           
And the sun filtered down through 
A
all them waves


     Gm      A
And they said...
           Dm
They said being here is better than 
wishing we'd stayed
      A
Yes, being here is seeming to be the
 way
  Dm               F         Bb
Being here is like breathing on the 
hottest day
    Gm         A
I think I would rather suffocate

Gm A  Gm A

      Dm          C          F
Last summer they said it was so, so 
hot
     Gm          F         A
Two lovers did drown, their dreams 
were sunk
            Dm           C        
While their bodies were lost, 
    F
their souls stayed around
         Gm                 A
They stayed underwater; most go 
underground.

     Gm       A
And they said...


          Dm
They said being here is better than 
wishing we'd stayed
      A
Yes, being here is seeming to be the
 way (x3)
     Dm            F        
Oh, being here is better than 
    Bb                         A
wishing, wishing, wishing we had 
stayed
