Good Night New York Nanci Griffith
G D Bm C
My mother came to America
C G D
Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams
G D
Back in the Thirties
Bm C
With the streets paved in gold
C G D
And the sky laced with moonbeams
C G C G
Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons
C G D
Here in the free world, we're the lucky ones
Chorus:
D C G
All of my yearning
G D
All of my hunger
D C G
Maybe I'm learning
G D
Sometimes I wonder
D G F C
Good night, New York
G D
Before the Kennedys
Bm C
Before the Beatles
C G D
Before the Vietnam War
G D Bm C
Back to a time when anything was possible
C G D
Having less meant knowing more
C G C G
Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts
C G D
Here in the free world, for that second chance
D G F C
Good night,New York
G D Bm C
My mother came to America
C G D
Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams
G D
And here in the future
Bm C
I hope I've not failed her
C G D
Cause nothing's the way that it seems
Chorus:
D C G
All of my yearning
G D
All of my hunger
D C G
Maybe I'm learning
G D
Sometimes I wonder
D G F C
Good night, New York
