Piano Intro
C/G ? Strum once

Verse 1:
C
Well, I wish I was in New York this morning
G
Sittin? all alone
Dm
The sun on Central Park in my eyes
G
And, the pigeons on the Savings and Loan

Verse 2:
C
Hey, I wish I was in New York this morning
G
Drinkin? from a paper cup, yeah,
Dm
Robust of beans and fashion magazines
G
And, people everytime you look up

Chorus:
F
I?d go right out tonight
C
I?d probably take the bus
Dm
Right down to St. Patrick?s Cathedral
G
Light a candle for us

Verse 3:
C
Well, I never thought we build our love
G
With rags and bones and nails
Dm
I know sometimes my words come out
G
Like an empty shotgun shell

Chorus:
F
But, I shaved my face
C
Stepped over the laundry in the stairs
Dm
It?s that time of year
G
For watching comets in the air

Verse 4:
C
Hey, I wish I was in New York this morning
G
Sittin? all by myself
Dm
In the land where father and son relations
G
Goes deeper than a coastal shelf

Chorus:
F
I?d go right out tonight
C
I?d probably take the bus
Dm
Right down to St. Patrick?s Cathedral baby
G
Light a candle for us

Piston?s holdin? out for a spark

F                           G2  G3
Well, I?m not waitin? on nothin? if I?m out walking the

Sidewalks after
