I said, hey little girl, take me by the hand
Walk me down this boardwalk one last time again
[C] I wanna see those pretty period bodies
Hear those carnival [G] sounds
[C] I'll stop right at the top tonight
[G] [D] When that Ferris wheel [G] goes round
You [D]
[G] say that I've been restless, you don't understand
Tomorrow I'll be leaving on that morning train
[C] Gonna leave this candy apple town behind
But a good apple I [G] still care
I'm [C] going to New York City with [D] this guitar [G] in my hand
I've been wishing on these [C] stars too long
I've been playing in these [G] bars too long
I've been holed up in [C] your arms too long
I've been a prisoner of [G] my heart too long
I'm [C] going to New York City
Gonna find out where [G] I stand
And [D] I'll be walking down Broadway
[C] With this guitar [G] in my hand

Well I sang for these tourists
But I dreamed life on the water
[Dm]
[G] When the dream, it gets broken
This life gets harder and harder
[C] Gonna leave this candy apple town behind
And a good apple [G] I still care
I'm going [C] to New York City with [G] [D] this guitar [G] in my hand
I've been wishing on [C] these stars too long
I've been playing in these [G] bars too long
I've been holed up in [C] your arms too long
I've been a prisoner of [G] my heart too long
I'm [C] going to New York City
Gonna find out where [G] I stand
And [D] I'll be walking down [C] Broadway
With this guitar [G] in my hand
