Piano Intro
C/G ? Strum once

Verse 1:
C5
Well, I wish I was in New York this morning
G5
Sittin? all alone
D5
The sun on Central Park in my eyes
G5
And, the pigeons on the Savings and Loan

Verse 2:
C5
Hey, I wish I was in New York this morning
G5
Drinkin? from a paper cup, yeah,
D5
Robust of beans and fashion magazines
G5
And, people everytime you look up

Chorus:
F5
I?d go right out tonight
C5
I?d probably take the bus
D5
Right down to St. Patrick?s Cathedral
G5
Light a candle for us

Verse 3:
C5
Well, I never thought we build our love
G5
With rags and bones and nails
D5
I know sometimes my words come out
G5
Like an empty shotgun shell

Chorus:
F5
But, I shaved my face
C5
Stepped over the laundry in the stairs
D5
It?s that time of year
G5
For watching comets in the air

Verse 4:
C5
Hey, I wish I was in New York this morning
G5
Sittin? all by myself
D5
In the land where father and son relations
G5
Goes deeper than a coastal shelf

Chorus:
F5
I?d go right out tonight
C5
I?d probably take the bus
D5
Right down to St. Patrick?s Cathedral baby
G5
Light a candle for us

Piston?s holdin? out for a spark

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