[N] But now I know
[E] Spanish [Am] Harlem are [F] not just pretty [C] words to say
[Dm]
[C] I thought I knew, [E] but now I know that [C] rose trees [F] never grow
[C] in New York [Dm] City
[F] Until you see [C] [Dm] this trash can dream come [C] true
[F] Stand at the [C] edge while people run [G] you [C] through
And [F]
I thank the [C] Lord there's people out there like you
I [F] thank the Lord there's [C] people out there like [Dm] you
[G] While [C] morning leaves us and bad [Bb] hatters, sons of bankers, [F] sons of lawyers
[C] Turn around and say good morning to the [F] night
For [E] unless they see the [Am] sky, but they [F] can and that is [D]
why
You [F] know not if it's [G] dark outside or [F] light
[C]
This Broadway's got, [E] it's got a lot of [Am] songs to [C] sing
[F] If I knew the [C] tunes I might join [Dm] in
[C] I go my way alone, [E] I grow my [Am] own, my own [F] seeds shall be sung
[C] In New York [Dm] City,
[F]
there's no way [C] for a good man to go down
[F]
A rich man can [C] rise, I'm the [G] hollow he can [C] drown
And
[F] I thank the [Em] Lord for the [Dm] people I have [C] found
[F] I thank the Lord for [C] the people I have [Dm] found
[G]
While morning [C] leaves us and bad [Bb]
hatters, sons of [Am] bankers, sons of [C]
lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to [F] the night
For [E] unless they see the sky, [C] but [F] they can and that [D] is why
You [F] know not if it's [G] dark outside [F] or light
[C]
Now I know [E] Spanish Harlem [C] are [F] not just pretty [C] words to say
[Dm] I thought [C]
I knew, [E] but now I know [C] that rose trees [F] never grow
[C] In New York [Dm] City, [F]
Subway's no [C] way for a good man to [F] go down
[C] A [F] rich man can [C] rise, I'm the [G] hollow he can [C] drown
And
[F] I thank the Lord [C] for the people I have found
[F] I thank the Lord [C] for the people I have [Dm] found
[G]
While morning [C] leaves us and bad [Bb]
hatters, sons of [Am] bankers, sons of [C]
