U2 - New York: chords

A       G                  C    G
In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices

 A
Voices on the cell phone
 G
Voices from home
 C
Voices of the hard sell
 G
Voices down the stairwell
    A       G                     C      G
In New York, just got a place in New York

In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
without a change of clothing

Hot as a hairdryer
in your face
Hot as a handbag
and a can of mace
In New York, I just got a place in New York
     A  G      C  G
New York, New York

In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But it's down to Alphaville

Chorus:
A G      C G      A
   New York, New York
           G C G
   New York
   New York, New York
   New York
The Irish have been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete,
asphalt, they even got the police
Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
Living happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you... New York

Chorus:
   New York, New York
   New York
   New York, New York
   New York
   New York

In New York I lost it all to you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
But you know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
You got to put the women and children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York

Chorus:
   New York
   New York
   New York, New York

In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice whispering
Come away now

Chorus:
   New, New York
   New
   New York (Aoooh)
   (New York)
