Late afternoon back in New York town, [F#m]
waking up as the wheels touch down, [E]
pick up my guitar
and walk away, [B]
wish I was going home to [A] stay.
Line of taxis await my [F#m] turn, tar and asphalt, exhaust and [E] fumes, beside the road on a patch
of [B] ground, taxi drivers are kneeling down.
_ _ [A] Need the concrete sky, I watch them pray, [F#m] while the people of the world hurry on their
way, [E] I think they're praying for us all today, the stories that fell from the sky that day.
[F#m] _ _
This is [D] the land [A] of the living, _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ this is [E] the land that's mine, _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m]
she still watches [D] _ _ over [A] Manhattan,
_ _ _ [E] _ _
she's still [F#m] holding on to [D] that _ torch [E] for life. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Back home, fire still burning, I can see it in the [F#m] air, pictures of faces posted _ everywhere,
they [E] say hazel eyes, chestnut hair, [D] mother of two, missing down there, I [A] pass the _ firemen
on duty tonight, [F#m] _ carpets of flowers and candlelight, [E] and thank you and a child's [D] scrawl, taped to
the third street firehouse wall, [A] the shadows of the lost on the faces I [F#m] see, brothers and
strangers on this island of [E] grief, there's death in the air but there's life on [D] this
street, _ there's life on this [F#m] street.
_ This [A] is the _ land of the living, _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ this is [D] the land [E] that's mine, _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] she still [D] watches _ over _ [A] Manhattan,
_ _ [E] _ _ she's [F#m] still holding on to [D] that _ torch for [E] _
life. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Then I got in the taxi, said Hudson Street please, [F#m] he started the meter and he looked
at me, [E] I glanced at his name on the back of his seat, [D] and I looked out the window at
the ghost filled streets, [A] I noticed cuts on his hand and his face, [F#m] and I said you're bleeding,
are you okay?
[E] He said I'm not so good, got beat up today, [D] and I'm not one of them no matter what they
[A] say, I'm just worried about my family, [F#m] my wife's in the house and she's scared to [E]
leave.
_ I didn't know what to say, _ didn't know what to say, _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ but said a prayer for him _ _ anyway. _ _
[F#m] _ _ This [D] is the land [A] of the living, _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ this [E] is the land _ _ that's mine, _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ she still [D] watches _ over [A] Manhattan,
_ _ _ [E]
she's [F#m] still holding on to [D] that _ torch [E] for life, _ _ _ _ [A] holding on for _ life. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
