Livin' in a city of immigrants

I don't need to go travelin'

Open my door and the world walks in

Livin' in a city of immigrants

My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats

Singin' in languages I don't speak

Livin' in a city of immigrants

City of black, City of white

City of prayers, City of immigrants

[Verse]
A A
Livin' in a city where the dreams of men
A D
Reach up to touch the sky and then
D D
Tumble back down to earth again
E A
Livin' in a city that never quits
A A
Livin' in a city where the streets are paved
A D
With good intentions and a people's faith
D D
In the sacred promise a statue made
E A
Livin' in a city of immigrants
[Chorus]
E A
City of stone, City of steel
E A
City of wheels, Constantly spinnin'
E A
City of bone, City of skin
E A
City of pain, City of immigrants
[Instrumental]
