[Verse 1]
D A Bm G
The Gulf and Western Garbage just ain't the prettiest smell
D A D G D
When you're sleeping on the 4th floor up, it's like a living hell
D A Bm G
New York's finest rounding up the bums, the firemen get no rest
D A D G D
And ambulances signal death on Central Park 'n' West
[Verse 2]
D A Bm G
Now there ain't no sheets upon my bed, just a mattress and some wine
D A D G A
The rain is pouring through the night and I'm glad my life is mine
D A Bm G
When Frank Carillo plays guitar trying to get it off his chest
D A D G D
He gets the words he needs tonight on Central Park 'n' West
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
And I think, I think, I think, I think, I think it's the best
D A D G D
When I'm locked in the middle of New York City on Central Park 'n' West
D A Bm G
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know it's a mess
D A D G D
But you've got to be crazy to live in the city and New York City's the best
[Solo]
D A Bm G
D A D G D
[Verse 3]
D A Bm G
And we all want someone just like me in the city we call home
D A D G D
She leaves me sometimes when I write 'cause I write better on my own
D A Bm G
Bag ladies take my dollars, put my conscience to the test
D A D G D
But waitresses give me coffee free on Central Park 'n' West
[Verse 4]
D A Bm G
So, sweet soul woman, sing the songs, it's time to sing them now
D A D G D
I'm getting more than high from hearin' 'em, don't sing them quiet, sing them loud
D A Bm G
For you sang with the best of them but now you're just a guest
D A D G D
I tell you we'll get a hotel room on Central Park 'n' West
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
And I think, I think, I think, I think, I think it's the best
D A D G D
When I'm locked in the middle of New York City on Central Park 'n' West
D A Bm G
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know it's a mess
D A D G D
But you've got to be crazy to live in the city and New York City's the best
[Solo]
D A Bm G
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know it's a guess
