G      Bm          D       
When I was a young man long ago
G Bm                    D   
I fell in love so hard you know

C                      G
She was strong she was pretty
             Gsus4  G
Such a pity
G                          C
New York City took my love away
        G 
Yes, it did
 
Chances are we're better off you know
This guitar man's life goes on the show

She was strong she was pretty
Such a pity

City junkies cannot taste the day
So the sunken people waste away
She was strong she was pretty
Yes, she was

G
New York City took my love away
New York City took my love away
C             Em           G
New York City took my love away...
