B/9                       
Guess what! Summer's arrived 
Ab5                        C#5
   I feel the world's on my side
E5
The Brooklyn Bridge stretches below me
B5                   E5        [ B/9]
  A billion souls all dying to know me

B/9                       
Well here I am! Loaded with promise
Ab5               C#5
  And knee deep in grace
E5
What I want is here on my face and
B5             E5                 
  I feel like I own the whole damn (place)


A5                     C#5
Hey Manhattan! Here I am! 
F5                       C#5
Call me star-struck Uncle Sam.
B5
  Strolling Fifth Avenue
E5                         E5        A5
  Just to think Sinatra's been here too
      A5    A5      D5                   A5 [?]
These myths we can't undo they lie in wait for you
   E5                      
We live them till they're ...
A5                       B5
True, Manhattan, doobie doo. 
A5                    B5
Hey Manhattan doobie doo.


B/9                       
  Someday's you've got to get outside 
Ab5                   C#5
  Look there's "The Carlyle"
E5
  That's the place where Kennedy stayed,
B5                          E5               [ B/9]
  And where were you when he died ?
               (Yeah some things are slow to fade.)
B/9                       
  There they were - Loaded with promise
Ab5           C#5
  Knee deep in fate
E5
  When what you want shows on your face
B5               E5              
  All that's left litters the whole damn (place)


A5                     C#5
Hey Manhattan! Here I am! 
F5                    C#5
Call it bad luck Uncle Sam.
B5
  Scrounging Fifth Avenue
E5                              E5        A5
  Just to think the poor could live here too
    A5    A5      D5                       A5 [?]
But what are they to do ? These myths belong to you,
   E5                      
We live them till they're ...
A5                       B5
True, Manhattan, doobie doo. 
A5                    B5
Hey Manhattan doobie doo.
