Ny Is A Woman (CHORDS) by Suzanne Vega
[Verse 1]~
G D/A E
New York city spread herself before you
C G D G
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars
D/A E
You were impressed,.. with the city so undressed
C D G
You had to go out cruising all the bars
[Verse 2]~
G D/A E
Your business trip extended through the weekend
C G D
Suburban boy here for your first time
G D/A E
From the 27th floor,.. above the midtown roar
C D G
You were startled,.. by her beauty,.. and her crime
[Chorus]~
Dm Cmaj7
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
Dm Cmaj7
She's every dame you've ever known on late night TV
Em Baug G/B Em/C# Cmaj7
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
B7
Endlessly
[Refrain]~
G D/A E
New York is a woman she'll make you cry
C D/A G
And to her you're just another guy
[Verse 3]~
G D/A E
Look down and see her ruined places
C G D
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
G D/A E
She's happy that you're here but when you disappear
C D G
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
[Instrumental]~
