Capo 3.

[Verse 1]

A

And now I know

C#7 F#m A D A Bm

Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say

A

I thought I knew

C#7 F#m A D A Bm

But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

D A Bm A

Until you've seen this trash can dream come true

D A E A

You stand at the edge while people run you through

D A E A

And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

D A Bm E

I thank the Lord there's people out there like you

[Chorus]

A G

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

D E

Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers

A D

Turn around and say good morning to the night

C#7 F#m E

For unless they see the sky

D A B

But they can't and that is why

D E D A

They know not if it's dark outside or light

[Verse 2]

A

This Broadway's got

C#7 F#m A D A Bm

It's got a lot of songs to sing If I knew the tunes I might join in

A

I'll go my way alone

C#7 F#m A D A Bm

Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City

D A Bm A

Subway's no way for a good man to go down

D A E A

Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown

D A E A

And I thank the Lord for the people I have found

D A Bm E

I thank the Lord for the people I have found

[Chorus]

A G

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

D E

Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers

But they can't and that is why
