New York is my Home by Dion and Paul Simon
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
The morning came today,
Am
With rain and sheets of grey,
Em
The subway rocked me out of bed,
C Em
To take me on my way.
G Bm
Where’er I go I go in style,
Em
Each and every mile,
C D
You know, I’m not alone,
G C G
New York is my home.
[Verse 2]
Em
I got a girl up in the Bronx,
Am
She treats me like a king,
Em
I’ll give her anything she wants,
C Em
She is my everything.
G Bm
She can be hard as concrete,
Em
Soft as a summer breeze,
C D
We can wake the dark,
G
New York is my home.
[Chorus 1]
C
New York is calling me,
G
It’s on the phone,
Am7
It’s like the rooftop songs,
D7
Up from the cobblestones.
(Stop strumming)
[Verse 3]
Em
You will never hear me say,
Am
“The city street’s too loud,”
Em
I hear a gospel hymn
C Em
In every passing crowd.
G Bm
It trails me and it tails me down,
Em
To central park,
C D
Even after dark,
G C G
New York is my home.
[Chorus 2]
C
New York is calling me,
G
And now I find,
Am7
The city never sleeps,
D7
It’s my state of mind.
[Verse 4]
Em
The breezes blow,
Am
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
Em
The harbour light shines on the piers,
C Am7
As all young lovers know.
G Bm
I can touch the world,
Em
As it sails in from everywhere,
C D
I’m not alone,
G C G
New York is my home.
[Chorus 3]
C
New York is calling me,
G
And now I find,
Am7
The city never sleeps,
D7 G C G C D7
It’s my state of mind.
[Verse 5]
Em
The breezes blow,
Am
And take me where the Hudson never flows,
Em
The harbour light shines on the piers,

As all young lovers know.

I can touch the world,
Em
As it sails in from everywhere,
C D
I’m not alone,

New York is my home.
