G5         D5      bm C5
My mother came to America
C5                  G5         D5
Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams
G5           D5
Back in the Thirties
bm               C5
With the streets paved in gold
C5        G5             D5
And the sky laced with moonbeams
C5            G5          C5           G5
Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons
C5            G5                     D5
Here in the free world, we're the lucky ones
Chorus: 
D5         C5   G5
All of my yearning
G5         D5
All of my hunger
D5          C5  G5
Maybe I'm learning
G5           D5
Sometimes I wonder
D5           G5          F5  C5
Good night, New York
G5          D5
Before the Kennedys
bm         C5
Before the Beatles
C5          G5       D5
Before the Vietnam War
G5         D5         bm           C5
Back to a time when anything was possible
C5           G5             D5
Having less meant knowing more
C5             G5       C5          G5
Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts
C5           G5                    D5
Here in the free world, for that second chance
D5          G5          F5   C5
Good night,New York
G5         D5     bm  C5
My mother came to America
C5                  G5         D5
Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams
     G5           D5
And here in the future
bm          C5
I hope I've not failed her
C5                   G5            D5
Cause nothing's the way that it seems
Chorus: 
D5         C5   G5
All of my yearning
G5         D5
All of my hunger
D5          C5  G5
Maybe I'm learning
G5           D5
Sometimes I wonder
D5           G5          F5  C5
Good night, New York
