_ _ _ Late afternoon back in New York town [F#] _ Waking up as the wheels touch [E] down
Pick up my guitar and walk away _ [D] Wish I was going home to [A] stay
Line of taxis I wait my [F#m] turn Tar and asphalt, exhaust and fumes
[E] Beside the road on a patch of ground _ Taxi drivers are kneeling _ down _ _
Meet the concrete sky I watch them pray While the people of the [F#m] world hurry on their way
I [E] think they're praying for us all today The stories that fell from the sky that day
[F#m] _ _ This is [D] the land of [A] the living _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
This is the [B] land of the [E]
spine _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] She still [E] watches over _ _
[A] _ Manhattan [E] _ _ _ _
She's still holding on to that _ [D]
torch for [E] life _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Back home [A] fire still burning I can see it in the air
Pictures of faces posted everywhere They say hazel eyes and chestnut hair
[B] 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 in a _ child's scrawl
Taped to the third street firehouse wall [A] The shadows of the lost on the faces I see
[F#m] Brothers and strangers on this island of grief There's [E] death in the air but there's life on this
[E] street _ There's life on this street
_ [F#m] _ _
This is [D] the land [A] of the living _ _ [E] This _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ is [D] the land of the [E] spine _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] She still watches over _ _ [A] _ Manhattan _ [E]
She's _ [F#m] still holding on to that [C#] _ _ [E] torch for life
Thank you
