[Bbm] I [Eb] used to live in New [Ab] York City
[Db] [Ab]
Everything [Bbm] [Db] [Ebm] there was [Ab] dark and dirty
[Db] [Ab]
Outside [Bbm] [Eb] my window [Ab] was a [Dbm] steeple
[E] [Ab]
[Bbm] With a [A] clock that always said [Ab] twelve-thirty
[Db] Young girls are coming to [Ab] the canyon
And
[Gb] in the [Bbm] morning I can see [Ab] them walk
[Db] I can no longer keep [Ab] my blinds drawn
I
[Gb] can't keep myself [Db] from talking
[Bbm] [Db] At first [Eb] so strange to feel [Ab] so friendly
[Db] [Ab] To
[Bbm] [Db] say [Ebm] good morning and [Ab] really mean it
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Db] To feel [Eb] these [Ebm] changes [Ab] happening in [Dbm] me
[E] [Ab]
[Bbm] But [A] not to notice till [Ab] I feel [Db] it
Young girls are coming to [Ab] the canyon
And
[Gb] in [Bbm] the morning I can see [Ab] them walk
I
[Db] can no longer keep [Ab] my blinds
[Gb] drawn
I can't [Gbm] keep myself [Db] from talking
[Bbm] [Eb] Cloudy waters pass no [Ab] reflection
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Db] Images [Ebm] of beauty lie [Ab] there stagnant
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Eb] Vibration [Ebm] pounds in [Ab] no direction
[Bbm] The light [A] has shattered into [Ab] fragments
Young
[Db] girls are coming to [Eb]
[Ab] the canyon
And [Gb] in [Bb] the morning I can see [Eb] them [Ab] walk
I
[Db] can no longer keep [Ab]
my blinds drawn
