Intro: G#m F# Fm7(b5) E7M   x2

  G#m                                F#
The days were long and the night so cold
        Fm7b5                         Emag7
The pages turn and the tale unfolds
 G#m          F#        Fm7(b5) E7M
He left me for another lady
  G#m                     F#              
She stood so tall and she never slept
          Fm7(b5)              E7M
There was not one moment he could regret
G#m        F#        Fm7(b5)  E7M
He left me for another lady
E            B
He took my hand one day and told me
Eb
He was leaving
G#m
Me disbelieving
       E        B
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Eb     G       G#m F#
Had to let him go

CHORUS:

          E
Her name was New York
B
New York and she
Eb          G   G#m      F#
Took his heart away from mine
            E
Her name was New York,
B
New York
        Eb       G     G#m    F#
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

    E
The greatest times
   Dbm
I don't want to hear it
     G#m
Your new life tonight
  F#
I don't want to hear it
    E
The new found friends
    Dbm
She introduced you to
  G#m
I don't want to know them
       F#
I just want to be with you
        Dbm                E
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
