[Eb] I used to live [Ab] in New York City
Everything there was dark and dirty
[Bbm] [Eb] Outside my window [Ab] was a steeple
[Bbm] With a [A] clock that always said [Ab] twelve-thirty
[Db] Young girls have gone back to [Ab] the canyon
And [Gb] [Bbm] in the mornin' I can see [Ab] them walkin'
I [Db] can no longer keep [Ab] my life strong
And [Gb] I can't keep myself [Db] from talkin'
[Bbm] At first [Eb] so strange to [Ab] feel so friendly
To [Bbm] [Ebm] say good mornin' and [Ab] really mean it
[Bbm] To feel these changes [Ab] happenin' in me
[Bbm] But [A] not to notice till [Ab] I feel
[Db] Young girls are comin' to [Ab] the canyon
And [Gb] in [Bbm] the mornin' I can see [Ab] them walkin'
[Db] I can no longer keep [Ab] my life strong
And [Gb] [Gbm] I can't keep myself [Db] from talkin'
[Bbm] [Eb] Cloudy waters, there's no [Ab] reflection
[Bbm] Images [Ebm] of beauty by [Ab] their skin
[Bbm] Vibration pounds in [Ab] no direction
[Bbm] But my [A] face looks nervous, [Ab] too frightened
Young [Db] girls are comin' to [Ab] the canyon
[Gb] And in [Bbm] the mornin' I can see [Ab] them walkin'
[Db] I can no longer keep [Ab] my life strong
[Gb] [Gbm] [Db]
Everything there was dark and dirty
[Bbm] [Eb] Outside my window [Ab] was a steeple
[Bbm] With a [A] clock that always said [Ab] twelve-thirty
[Db] Young girls have gone back to [Ab] the canyon
And [Gb] [Bbm] in the mornin' I can see [Ab] them walkin'
I [Db] can no longer keep [Ab] my life strong
And [Gb] I can't keep myself [Db] from talkin'
[Bbm] At first [Eb] so strange to [Ab] feel so friendly
To [Bbm] [Ebm] say good mornin' and [Ab] really mean it
[Bbm] To feel these changes [Ab] happenin' in me
[Bbm] But [A] not to notice till [Ab] I feel
[Db] Young girls are comin' to [Ab] the canyon
And [Gb] in [Bbm] the mornin' I can see [Ab] them walkin'
[Db] I can no longer keep [Ab] my life strong
