Verse: A5 D5 Oh, I packed up suit cases, F#5 E5 One for clothes one for dreams, A5 D5 F#5 E5 And on the five hour flight I made my fool proof schemes, D5 E5 C#5 F#5 That I'd eat the big apple not choke on the seeds, D5 E5 F#5 -> E5 -> D5 and they'd name a street after me, D5 E5 A5 E5 but this was not destined to be, A5 D5 F#5 E5 'Cause every actor, model, musician, in the food industry, A5 D5 F#5 E5 Smiles for tips to afford their 300 square feet, D5 E5 C#5 F#5 and at the end of auditions all they hear is "next please", D5 E5 F#5 -> E5 -> D5 So at night they drop to their knees, D5 E5 A5 "God can you still hear me?", Chorus: B5 G5 D5 So welcome to New York aren't you lonely now?, B5 G5 D5 F#5 Even your God's lost you in the crowd, amongst the sound, B5 F#5 G5 D5 Of eight million people who's hearts make man's choir, G5 B5 F#5 Hoping hearts can reach higher then man can build, A5 D5 On the sidewalks and subways, B5 E5 Where dreams are for sale, A5 D5 F#5 E5 Live the giant sized, judging eyes of those who've yet to fail, D5 E5 Staring into the faces, C#5 F#5 Behind open guitar cases, D5 E5 F#5 -> E5 -> D5 Belting just so they can hear, D5 E5 A5 Past the ringing of the city in their ears, Chorus: B5 G5 D5 So welcome to New York aren't you lonely now?, B5 G5 D5 F#5 Even your God's lost you in the crowd, amongst the sound, B5 F#5 G5 D5 Of eight million people who's hearts make man's choir, G5 B5 F#5 Hoping hearts can reach higher then man can build, [Guitar Solo] The Chorus is then repeated twice, with a key change up for each. So the first repetition follows the progression: C#5 A5 E5 etc. So welcome to New York. . . The second repetition follows the progression: Eb5 , B5 , F#5 etc. So..., to..., New..., lonely now. . . Enjoy.
