  			F#        B7M  
Ooohh New York   (2x)  

F#                                                      B7M  
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes  
F#                                                                     B7M  
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean  
F#                                                                B7M  
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say  
F#                                                                 B7M  
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway  

A#  
Even if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams  
               B7M  
Baby, I'm from...  

B7M  
    New York  
                                      F#7M  
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of  
                          C#  
There's nothing you can't do  
               B7M  
Now you're in New York  
                                  F#7M  
These streets will make you feel brand new  
                           C# 
Big lights will inspire you  
                       B7M  
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!   

F#                                                        B7M  
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard  
F#                                                               B7M  
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God  
F#                                                           B7M  
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge  
F#                                                            B7M  
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge  

A#  
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams  
Chorus:  
                   B7M  
Baby, I'm from...

One hand in the air for the big city,  
                                             B  
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty  
   C#  
No place in the world that can com-pare  
    D#m7                                                           A#  
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah  

       B7M  
In New York  
                                       F#
