Intro:
EAEAB7B7EB7
(female)
EA
Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine
EA
We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry
B7EB7
New York, New York is a friend to the traveling kind
EA
And I'm coming around from years of hard times
EA
He's chased me down through the towns and the miles
B7EB7
Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
***Chorus:
AEAE
And if you feel my love won't leave you
C#mAB
And if your sorrow - has been your share
EAEAE
If you are traveling - back to Georgia
B7 (no chord) E
Won't you take - me with you there
*****
***Instrumental:
EAEAB7B7EB7
(male)
EA
Well I'm long gone darling, lonesome blue
EA
I been thinking of leaving, I been thinking of you
B7EB7
But that big city singing, man I like the way that it shines
EA
Iwas half a mile from Canada waiting on a train
EA
Wondering and wishing I could disappear again
B7EB7
I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line
-Chorus-
(female)
EA
I've been troubled by a love untrue
EA
Its a fool who will drown in his fountain of youth
B7EB7
I can see that now as I'm walking and talking with you
(male)
EA
I been blinded by the sun, wasted in the rain
EA
Scattered in America, and I'm scatterin' again
B7EB7
But if you're going south darling, I guess I'm traveling with you
