Intro: G#5 F#5 Fm7(b5) E5   x2

  G#5                                F#5
The days were long and the night so cold
        Fm7b5                         Emag7
The pages turn and the tale unfolds
 G#5          F#5        Fm7(b5) E5
He left me for another lady
  G#5                     F#5              
She stood so tall and she never slept
          Fm7(b5)              E5
There was not one moment he could regret
G#5        F#5        Fm7(b5)  E5
He left me for another lady
E5            B5
He took my hand one day and told me
Eb5
He was leaving
G#5
Me disbelieving
       E5        B5
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Eb5     G5       G#5 F#5
Had to let him go

CHORUS:

          E5
Her name was New York
B5
New York and she
Eb5          G5   G#5      F#5
Took his heart away from mine
            E5
Her name was New York,
B5
New York
        Eb5       G5     G#5    F#5
She had poisoned his sweet mind

The wolves they howl
For my lost soul
I fell down
A deep black hole
He left me for another lady
She poured the drinks
And she poured the power
Diamond girl
Who could talk for hours
He left me for another lady

Now I am on my own
He told me
He was leaving
And I was pleading
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Had to let him go

CHORUS

    E5
The greatest times
   Db5
I don't want to hear it
     G#5
Your new life tonight
  F#5
I don't want to hear it
    E5
The new found friends
    Db5
She introduced you to
  G#5
I don't want to know them
       F#5
I just want to be with you
        Db5                E5
Please don't make me go to

New York
New York
She took your heart away from mine
Her name was New York
New York
She poisoned your sweet mind
She poisoned your sweet mind
