[C] Now I know
[E] Spanish [Am] Harlem [C] are [F] not just pretty [C] words to say
[Dm] I
[C] thought I knew,
[E] but now I [Am] know that [C] rose [F] trees never grow [C] in New [Dm] York City
Until [F]
[C] you've seen this [Dm]
trashcan dream come [C] true
You [F]
stand at the [C] edge while [G] people run you [C] through
And [F]
I thank the [C] Lord there's [Dm]
people out there like [C] you
[F] I thank the [C] Lord there's people out there [Dm] like you
While [G]
more [C] thieves and [Bb] mad hatters, [F] sons of bankers, sons [C] of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the [F]
night
For [E] unless they see the [Am] [C] sky, but [F] they can [C] and that is [D] why
They [F] know not if it's [G] dark outside [F] or [C] light
[F] [C] [Dm] [C] Sprawl with God, [E] he's got a [Am] lot of songs [C] to sing
[F] If I knew [C] the tunes I might join [Dm] him
I'll [C] go [C] my way alone, [E] I'll grow my [Am] own, my own [F] seed shall be sown
[C]
In New York [Dm] City,
[C] [F] Subway's [C] no way for [G] a good man to go [C]
down
[F] Rich man [C] can ride and [G] the hobo he can [C]
drown
[F] And I thank [C] the Lord for the [G] people I [C] have found
I [F] thank the Lord [C] for the people I [Dm] have found
[G]
While [C] more thieves and [Bb]
mad hatters, [F] sons of bankers, sons [C] of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to [F] the night
For [E] unless they see [Am] the sky, [C] [F] but they [Am] can and that is [D]
why
They [F]
know not if [G] it's dark outside [F] or light
[C] [F] [C]
Now I know
[E] [C] Spanish Harlem are [F] not just pretty [C] words to say
[Dm] I
[C] [Dm] [C] thought I knew,
