Verse 1
 
C                  C7/E 
Wouldn't changed a single word 
F                        G 
Or touch a single note 
C                        C7/E 
Of those old songs those New York Songs 
F                          G 
Of love that we once wrote 
C                       C7/E 
And though it hurts now we're apart 
F                           G 
And different dreams pursue 
C                  C7/E 
Fragments of those songs remain 
F                        G 
In whispered shades of blue 
 
Chorus
 
C             D     G/B  C  Em 
Old Manhattan melodies 
F               C            G                C      G 
Echo through my broken heart and call me back to you 
C             D     G/B  C  Em 
Old Manhattan melodies... 
F               C            G                C      G 
Why Oh why the echoes cry I only wish I knew 
 
Verse 2
 
C                   C7/E 
Lighthouse shine in Quarter time 
F                            G 
And guide me from this coast 
C                    C7/E 
In case I run around once more 
F                          G 
And meet you or your ghost 
C                   C7/E 
I'ver tried I can't turn back the clock 
F                           G 
Your ships too long at sea 
C                  C7/E 
A dream the river stole away 
F            G 
Oh Misty Melody...

Echo through my aching heart and tell me you're still true 
C             D     G/B  C  Em 
Old Manhattan melodies 
F               C            G                C      G 
Why Oh why the whole world cries I only wish I knew

Every note a memory some happy and some blue

Whisper through my lonely heart and call me back to you.
