(First chord I'm making, so it might be very off. I dont play the guitar either, ironically enough but I
just feel like sharing this, since I'm very passionate about this song.
I'm a bit uncertain about the Bdim - Am progression before the chorus, but hopefully it'll be worked on by
others as well!)
[Intro]
Am G C
Am G C
Am G C Bdim Am
F G C
[Verse 1]
Am G C
When my nerve wore down
Am G C
I was assailed by simple little sounds
Am G C Bdim Am
Hammer clangs, sirens in the park
F G C
Like I never heard New York
[Verse 2]
Am G C
Blaring brakes, trapped trucks
Am G C
Honk and horns, hissing buses stuck
Am G C Bdim Am
Shrieking trains, barreling berserk
F G Am
Like I never heard New York
F G C
Like I never heard New York
[Bridge]
Am G C
Am G C
Am G C Bdim Am
F G C
[Verse 3]
Am G C
When the room grew loud,
Am G C
I learned to stand in back behind the crowd,
Am G C Bdim Am
Dam canals with cork,
F G C
Like I never heard New York
[Verse 4]
Am G C
But when the walls gave way,
Am G C
I had to flee, I had to back away
Am G C Bdim Am
as the whole town barked,
F G Am
Like I never heard New York
F G C
Like I never heard New York
