[Intro] Gm [Chorus] Gm F I'd been a girl and wandering. Gm F Frequented my late afternoon Gm F summer in New York City, Gm F wearin' the sweater colour green. Gm F Bb So one night I sat down in a chair and knitted there. [Verse 1] Gm F Years after trying to lead a woman's life, Gm F Bb Eb I met a friend who had a red-haired wife. Gm F She said to me, Woman, I'd like your clothes. Gm F Come on and let us try both and take tender care. Gm F Bb And when you need help I will be there [Bridge] Db Ab Db Ab Memories and seasons achieve their affairs. Db Ab Db Ab Sometime in April the sweater I wear. Bb Eb Bb Eb Sometime in April the letter I read. Gm F Gm F Dear friend, I think of you on the top of Empire State. [Verse 2] Gm F Dear friend, I'm lonesome. Gm F Dear friend, I've been well. Gm F How do you spell your name? Gm F The city has changed me. Cm Eb I am no longer the same. Gm F Gm F He wrote to me: Woman, I'd like to stay. Gm F Gm F Liberty Statue has got so many stars, Gm F Bb but when you need help I will be there. [Chorus] Gm F I'd been a girl and wandering. Gm F Frequented my late afternoon Gm F summer in New York City, Gm F wearin' the sweater colour green.
