I had a look through the other version on here and noticed that the 
lyrics weren't all correct.  Also, I don't use a capo when I play 
this song....


New York, New York – Ryan Adams
Intro: Riff
…......A…....…Dadd9…..........Dadd9…...A …[Repeat]
A………………………….…Dadd9
Well I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July 
Dadd9………………………A
Like a firecracker waiting to blow 
A………………………..Dadd9
Breakin’ like a rocket who was making
Dadd9……………………..A
His way To the cities of Mexico 
A…………………………Dadd9
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
Dadd9………………………….A
I Had a tar-hut on the corner of Tenth 
A…………………………Dadd9
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
Dadd9…………………….A
But I’ve broken up and busted up since 
E……………...A……..….E………….A
And Love don’t play any games with me Any-

A……..Dadd9………Dadd9………A
York………
A……………………………..Dadd9
Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds 
Dadd9……………………………A
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good 
A……………………………..Dadd9
Still amazed I didn’t lose it on the roof of the 
Dadd9……………………………………….A
Place when I was drunk and I was thinking of you 
A……………………………….Dadd9
Every day the children they were singing their tunes 
Dadd9……………………………………….A
Out on the streets and you could hear from the inside 
A……………………………..Dadd9
Used to take the subway up to Houston and Third
Dadd9……………………………A
I would wait for you and I’d try to hide 
E…………A………….E………..….A
And Love won’t play any games with you any-
D………..….E/D…………D…….E/D
More if you don’t want it to…..
E…………......….A………....………E…..….....…….A
The World won’t wait and I watched you shake but

A……………………..Dadd9
I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
Dadd9………………..A
In a church on the Upper West Side 
A…………….……..Dadd9
Babe, I stood there singing I was holding your arm
Dadd9………………….A
You were holding my trust like a child 
A…………………….Dadd9
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
Dadd9………………..A
But I tried to keep the overhead low 
A………………….Dadd9
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
