in (Bb7)sights, lights, (Eb)nights.

New (G6)York, New York, a (D7)hell uv a town, The Bronx is up but the (D7)Bat ter y’s down, And peo ple ride in a (D7)hole in the ground; (F7)New (Bb)York, New York,

The fa mous (Ab7)plac es to vis it are so (Eb)man y, or so the (Cdim)guide books say;

I prom ised (Ab7)Dad dy I would n’t miss on (Eb)an y and we have (Bb7)just one (Eb)day; Got ta see the whole town right from Yonk ers on down to the bay

New (G6)York, New York, a (D7)vis i tor’s place, Where no one lives on ac (D7)count of the pace, But sev en mil lion are (D7)scream ing for space; (F7)New (Bb)York, New York,

(Bb)York, New York,

it’s a hell uv a town!
