Verse (repeat verse-riff 5x):

Made it in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes.
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean.
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say.
Seeing my face in lights or my name in the marquee found down on Broadway.



Chorus:

C# (Palm Mute)
Even if it ain't all that it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams,

A G#  D5
Out in New York.
                 A
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
          E
There's nothing you can't do.
    D5
Out in New York.
                 A
These streets will make you feel brand new,
       E
Lights will inspire you,
      D5
Hear it for New York, New York, New York.



Verse (repeat verse-riff 3x):

On the avenue, there's never a curfew, you work so hard.
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, we pray to God.



Chorus:


C# (Palm Mute)
I'ma make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams,

A G#  D5
Out in New York.
                 A
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
          E
There's nothing you can't do,
       D5
Now you're in New York.
                 A
These streets will make you feel brand new,
      E
Lights will inspire you,
      D5
Hear it for New York, New York, New York.



Bridge:

D5
One hand in the air for the city.
D5
Street lights, all looking pretty.
E
No place in the world that can compare.
F#
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say,
C#
Yeah! Yeah!



Chorus:

  D5
In New York.
                 A
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
        E
Nothing you can't do..
       D5
Now you're in New York.
                 A
These streets will make you feel brand new,
      E
Lights will inspire you,
      D5            A5
