Cold Hands From New York chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO:] G

[VERSE 1]

I came down to Albany
To New York, to find what I'd been [F]missing
I [G]looked across the river to
The city where the windows all stood [F]glistening
I stood [Em]listening

[VERSE 2]
In[G]to a tunnel I did ride
Like a grave inside, but I was young and [F]able
When [G]I came out the other end
Through the smoke the winter light was [F]feeble
Un[Em]readable

[VERSE 3]
[G]I was optimistic though
A cabbie told me where to go, I [F]thanked him
A [G]face of white a face of brown
Here a smile, there a look of [F]danger
For a [Em]stranger

[CHORUS 1]
[Dm]It was too unreal for me
I [Em]found no one who trusted me
There [F]was no man could offer me
A [G]cold hand from New York[F]____[Em]__

[CHORUS 2]
[G]Cold hands from New York
A voice with[F]in you cries
"Won't someone please [G]help me"

I'll do the same for you one day
If [F]you should ever pass my way and [G]need me [Em] [A7] [F] [D] [D7]


[VERSE 4]
[G]I came down to live alone
In New York, the city of the li[F]ving
[G]There were fortunes at my feet
But most of men were taking, none were [F]giving
Or for[Em]giving

[VERSE 5]
[G]Children ran and children played
And roses grew in alleyways, I [F]saw them
[G]There were men who lived in style
And others who had died where no one [F]knew them
'Because they [Em]couldn't win

[VERSE 6]
[G]There were parks where old men slept
And dingy rooms where babies crept, un[F]wanted
'Til [G]I began to ask myself
If there was hope or if it mattered [F]what they did
Or [Em]if they lived

[CHORUS 1]
[Dm]It was too unreal for me
I [Em]found no one who trusted me
There [F]was no man could offer me
A [G]cold hand from New York[F]____[Em]__

[CHORUS 2]
[G]Cold hands from New York
A voice with[F]in you cries
"Won't someone please [G]help me"

I'll do the same for you one day
If [F]you should ever pass my way and [G]need me [Em] [A7] [F] [D] [D7]


[VERSE 7]
[G]I came down to Albany
To New York, to find what I'd been [F]missing
I [G]looked across the river to
The city where the windows all stood [F]glistening
I stood [Em]listening

[VERSE 8]
[G]There were prophets in the squares
And people there who smiled and said for[F]get it
[G]There were lovers in the park
And there was danger in the dark, I [F]felt it
So a[Em]fraid of it

[VERSE 9]
[G]There were preachers of the word
And poets who were never heard, I [F]heard them
[G]There were those who would not try
To learn the measure [F]of the lie
They're [Em]living

[VERSE 10:]
I [G]heard a young musician play
In a place where they paid you not to [F]listen
I [G]heard a woman scream for help
While men stood by and offered their best [F]wishes
That's [Em]how it is

[CHORUS 1]
[Dm]It was too unreal for me
I [Em]found no one who trusted me
There [F]was no man could offer me
A [G]cold hand from New York[F]____[Em]__

[CHORUS 2]
[G]Cold hands from New York
A voice with[F]in you cries
"Won't someone please [G]help me"

I'll do the same for you one day
If [F]you should ever pass my way and [G]need me


[CHORUS 2]
Cold hands from New York
A voice with[F]in you cries
"Won't someone please [G]help me"

I'll do the same for you one day
If [F]you should ever pass my way and [G]need me


[CHORUS 2]
Cold hands from New York
A voice with[F]in you cries
"Won't someone please [G]help me"

I'll do the same for you one day
If [F]you should ever pass my way and [G]need me [Em] [A7] [F] [D] [D7]
