[E] Standing on the corner just me and your co-owner we was waiting for a [B] chariot to land.
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand, drinkin' half a man of [E] water if you can.
[A] Me and this baby feeling we found that it was really time for folks to smoke slob every day.
Up come the policemen, truckers, drop the strings, singing [B] power to the people today.
New York City, New York [E] City, New [A] York City, get [D] back to New York, get back to New York with me.
[E] Well, down to Max's City from town, the nitty gritty with the elephant's memory [B] band.
Played something now as the music spread around about the price they paid for no elephant's [E] memory band.
[A] Made some kooky pooky and laid some cootie cootie singing, knocked those sallies away.
Up come the preacher man trying to be a teacher singing, [B] got the rest staring in fright.

Well, [E] we drifted to Staten Island Ferry making movies for the teleplay, the film or an Apollo for [B] freedom.
I tried to shake my limits just to cycle through the building, broke my balance, we were livin' [E] back in London.
Well, [A] nobody gave me cause, cause, unless he troubles me, decided to make it our own.
Put my arms to shoulders, now we goin' to Joplin, [B] now that's the one liberty set free.
