In New York
Transposer
[Verse 1]
C E7 Am D7
In New York, I ride the train
F G C
with headphones and my tunes,
C E7 Am D7
because I'm depressed and life is pain,
F G C
plus it keeps away the loons.
F7 C7
So my favorite bands, they get me through my commute
F7 A7 G7
and I keep the world at the bay as I keep on my root,
C E7 Am D7
Because in New York, my headphones play,
F G C
some song that goes like this:
[Verse 2]
C F G Am Bbmaj7
You're alone, your friends, they're gone,
C F G Am Bbmaj7
So you're alone, your friends, they're gone,
C F G Am Bbmaj7
So you're alone, your friends, they're gone,
C F G
So you're alone, so alone,
[Verse 3]
C E7 Am D7
Then some barbershop quartet
F G C
walks through the subway door,
C E7 Am D7
They do a song and I get upset,
F G C
'cause I can't hear my tunes anymore,
F7 C7
Then I say "Thank god, I'm getting off at Union Square"
F7 A7 G7
but when I reach the station, there's another quartet there,
C E7 Am D7
Because in New York, they're everywhere,
F G C
singing crap like this:
[Verse 4]
C
Knot, knot,
F G
Tie a knot, knot around,
Am
Who you love,
Bbmaj7
And uh-hold on for good,
C
Knot, knot,
F G
Tie a knot, knot around,
Am
Who you love,
Bbmaj7
And uh-hold on for good,
C
Knot, knot,
F G
Tie a knot, knot around,
Am
Who you love,
Bbmaj7
And uh-hold on for good,
Bbmaj7
And uh-hold on for good,
Bbmaj7
And uh-hold on for good,
[Verse 5]
G
And I'm trying to listen to the music on my headphones,
F
But the songs together, they just go:
N.C.
*improvised musical mess/screaming*
F G
I'm trying to focus on sad, sad world on my headphones,
But they're messing it up, and now it's all just:
N.C.
*improvised musical mess/screaming*
[Verse 6]
Csus4 C
But then something weird happens, for a moment,
Csus4 C
For a moment, something weird,
The:
C F G Am
You're alone, your friends, they're gone,
Bbmaj7
Syncs up with,
C
Knot, knot,
F G
Tie a knot, knot around,
Am
Who you love,
Bbmaj7
And uh-hold on for good
And it becomes:
C F
You're not not alone,
G Am
Tie a knot knot around your friends who you love,
Bbmaj7
They're gonna hold on for good
C F G Am Bbmaj7
And I'm trying to be pessimist but I can't, I can't because,
C F G Am Bbmaj7
Suddenly there's music no one's ever heard before,
C F G Am Csus4
Suddenly there's music no one's ever heard before, before,
[Verse 7]
C E7 A7 D7
And I'm thankful for moments like this,
F G C
when two musics combine,
C E7 A7 D7
When the "Thump-a-Thump" of a stranger's heart
F G C
thumps along with mine.
