Well I shuffled through the city on the Fourth of July had a firecracker  waiting to blow  
 
  
 
Breaking like a robber who was making his way to the cities of Mexico  
 
  
 
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A, had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th   
 
  
 
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold, but I been broken up & been  busted up since  
 
  
 
E Love don t A play any E games with A me, Any D more like she did  before 
 
  
 
E World won t A wait so I, E better A shake that D thing right out  there through the door 
 
  
 
Hell, I still E love you New A York D A D 
 
  
 
A D A 
 
  
 
Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds of my wallet and it stayed  pretty good  
 
  
 
Still amazed I didn t lose it on the roof of that place when I was drunk and  I was thinkin of you 
 
  
 
Every day the children they were singing their tunes, out on the streets and  you could hear from inside  
 
  
 
Used to take the subway up to Houston and Third, I would wait for you and I d  try to hide  
 
  
 
E Love don t A play any E games with A you, Any D more if you don t  want  em to 
 
  
 
E World won t A wait & I, E watched you A shake, but D honey I  don t blame you 
 
  
 
Hell, I still E love you New A York D A D 
 
  
 
Hell, I still love you New York D A D New York 
 
  
 
A D A 
 
  
 
I remember Christmas in the blistering cold In a church on the Upper West  Side  
 
  
 
Babe, I stood there singing I was holding your arm You were holding my trust  like a child 
 
  
 
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B But I tried to keep the overhead low   
 
  
 
Farewell to the city and the love of my life At least we left before we had  to go  
 
  
 
E Love won t A play any E games with A you Any D more if you don t  want  em to 
 
  
 
E Sweep and A shake this old E thing out the A door, I ll D always  be thinking of you 
 
  
 
I ll always D love you though New A York D A D 
 
  
 
I ll always love you though New York 
 
  
 
I ll always love you though New York 
 
  
 
I ll always love you though New York New York, New York 
 
  
 
Out on A
