[Verse 1] (female)
        E                     A
Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine
            E                        A
We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry
E                         B7                      E         B7
New York, New York is a friend to the traveling kind
      E                     A
And I'm coming around from years of hard times
      E                          A
He's chased me down through the towns and the miles
       E                     B7              E
Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by

[Chorus] (both)
            A                  E
And if you feel my love won't leave you
                   F#m                B7        N.C.
And if your sorrow -   has been your share
             E       A          E
If you are traveling -  back to Georgia
           F#m     B7           E
Won't you take  -   me with you there

         E                    A
Well I'm long gone darling, lonesome blue
        E                           A
I been thinking of leaving, I been thinking of you
         E                  B7                           E     B7
But that big city singing, man I like the way that it shines

(Both)
       E                        A
I was half a mile from Canada waiting on a train
  E                            A
Wondering and wishing I could disappear again
          E                     B7                          E
I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line
 
[Chorus] (both)
            A                  E
And if you feel my love won't leave you

[Verse 3] (female)
       E                      A
Well I've been troubled by a love untrue
        E                            A
It's a fool who will drown in his fountain of youth
      E                     B7                      E    B7
I can see that now as I'm walking and talking with you

(both)
             E                    A
Well I been blinded by the sun, washed in the rain
   E                           A
Scattered in America, and I'm scatterin' again
        E                         B7                          E
But if you're going south darling, I guess I'm traveling with you

[Chorus] (both)
            A                  E
And if you feel my love won't leave you

Won't you take  -   me with you there
            A                  E
And if you feel my love won't leave you
