[Chorus]
    E
The faucets are dripping in old New 
York City
    A                        E
The faucets are dripping and oh, 
what a pity
    B7
The reservoir's drying because it's 
supplying
                             E
The faucets that drip in New York

[Verse 1]
    E
You can't ask the landlord to put in
 a washer
     A                       E
He'd rather you move than to put in 
a washer
    B7
The faucets are dripping, they sound
 in my ears
The tap in the bathroom's been 
            E
running for years

[Chorus]
    E
The faucets are dripping in old New 
York City
    A                        E
The faucets are dripping and oh, 
what a pity
    B7
The reservoir's drying because it's 
supplying
                             E
The faucets that drip in New York

[Verse 2]
E
There's a wild streak of green in 
the sink in the kitchen
   A                             E
It comes from the rill trickling out
 of the plumbing
Continúa después del anuncio
    B7
The streams from the mountains, the 
pools from the lea
All run from my faucet and down to 
    E
the sea

[Chorus]
    E
The faucets are dripping in old New 
York City
    A                        E
The faucets are dripping and oh, 
what a pity
    B7
The reservoir's drying because it's 
supplying
                             E
The faucets that drip in New York

[Verse 3]
    E
You can't ask the landlord to put in
 a washer
    A                         E
You can't ask the landlord to mend 
the old stairs
   B7                        E
He takes in the rents and he lives 
in Miami
      B7                           
Where faucets don't drip and 
           E
there's sun everywheres

[Chorus]
    E
The faucets are dripping in old New 
York City
    A                        E
The faucets are dripping and oh, 
what a pity
    B7
The reservoir's drying because it's 
supplying
                             E
The faucets that drip in New York

[Verse 4]
    E
The faucets are dripping, the 
landlord's content
     A                   E
With every new tenant he raises the 
rent
    B7                        
The buildings can crumble, the 
 E
tenants can cry
          B7                  
There's a shortage of housing, 
                      E
you'll live there or die

[Chorus]
    E
The faucets are dripping in old New 
York City
    A                        E
The faucets are dripping and oh, 
what a pity
    B7
The reservoir's drying because it's 
supplying
                             E
The faucets that drip in New York

[Verse 5]
        E
They're building some buildings and 
fine city centers
     A                         
It's sure working hell with the 
 E
low-income renters
        B7
They're jammed into rooms with the 
rat and the fly
Where the faucets all drip and the 
              E
floor's never dry

[Chorus]
    E
The faucets are dripping in old New 
York City
    A                        E
The faucets are dripping and oh, 
what a pity
    B7
The reservoir's drying because it's 
supplying
                             E
The faucets that drip in New York
