***INTRO:
E A E A B7 B7 E B7
(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
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
B7 E B7
Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
A E A E
And if you feel my love won't leave you
Dbm A B
And if your sorrow - has been your share
E A E A E
If you are traveling - back to Georgia
B7 (no chord) 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
B7 E B7
But that big city singing, man I like the way that it shines
E A
Iwas half a mile from Canada waiting on a train
E A
Wondering and wishing I could disappear again
B7 E B7
I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line
-CHORUS-
(female)
E A
I've been troubled by a love untrue
E A
Its a fool who will drown in his fountain of youth
B7 E B7
I can see that now as I'm walking and talking with you
(male)
E A
I been blinded by the sun, wasted in the rain
E A
Scattered in America, and I'm scatterin' again
B7 E B7
But if you're going south darling, I guess I'm traveling with you
***CHORUS 2xs and fade out***
