Dm G Hudson died in Hudson bay C Am The water took its victim's name Gm F Now rivers rise toward Riverside E To change their names again Dm G A stranger walked in through the door C Am Said, "All apartments are pre-war" Gm F We laughed and asked him for his name E He stayed until the end Dm G We watched the Germans play the Greeks C Am We marked the ninety-nine-year lease Gm F Our fathers signed which I declined E To try and comprehend (Chorus) Dm G Over and over again C Am All these never-ending visions Dm G Over and over again C Am Like a prize that's changing hands Dm G The time has come C Am The clock is such a drag Gm F All you who change your stripes E Can wrap me in the flag Dm G The legendary wooden gate C Am That first established real estate Gm F Is lost to time like other crimes E That won this pleasant land (Chorus) Dm G Hudson died in Hudson bay C Am But I was born on Sutton Place Gm F The rising tide helped me decide E To change my name again Dm G Some men tend to linger on, C Am And some make haste from Babylon, Gm F And some will roam their ruined home, E Rejoicing to the end (Chorus) Dm G C Am The lines are drawn, the map is such a drag Gm F E All you who change your stripes can wrap me in the flag
