NYC

Intro.: ( Bb F C F  Bb F C ) 2X

       Bb              F      
He was standing on the highway, 
            C              F
somewhere way out in the sticks
   Bb             F               
Guitar across his shoulder like a 
C
30.06
    Bb               F         
He was staring in my headlights, 
           C             F
when I come around the bend
           Bb          F          
Climbed up on my shotgun side and 
     C
told me with a grin

      Bb                   F      
I?ve never really been there, just
          C
 like the way it sounds
Bb   F                   C    F
I heard the girls are pretty
                Bb           F    
There must be something happening 
            C
there, it?s just too big a town

-------------------- 


He was cold and wet and hungry, but 
he never did complain
Said he?d come a thousand miles 
through sleet and snow and rain
He had a hundred stories about, the 
places that he?d been
He?d hang around a little while and 
hit the road again

Repeat Chorus

See, I?ve been to New York City, 
seems like it was yesterday
I was standing like a pilgrim on the
 great white way
The girls were really pretty, but 
they wouldn?t talk to me
I held out about a week, went back 
to Tennessee

So, I thought I better warn him, as 
he climbed out of my car
Grabbed his battered suitcase and 
shouldered his guitar
I knew I was just jealous, if I 
didn?t wish him well
I slipped the kid a twenty, said, 
Billy ?em hell

Repeat Chorus Twice
