New York Is A Woman Chords & Lyrics - Suzanne Vega

CAPO 1

[VERSE 1]

[G]New York City [D/F#]spread herself before y[E]ou
With her [C]bangles and her s[G]pangles and her [D/F#]stars

[G]You were i[D/F#]mpressed with the c[E]ity so undressed
You [C]had to go out c[D]ruising all the [G]bars

[VERSE 2]

[G]Your business trip [D/F#]extended through the wee[E]kend
[C]Suburban boy h[G]ere for your first [D/F#]time
From the[G] 27th [D/F#]floor a[E]bove the midtown roar
You were [C]dazzled by her [D]beauty and her [G]crime

[CHORUS 1]

And she's [Dm]every girl you've seen in every [Cmaj7]movie
[Dm]Every dame you've ever known on [Cmaj7]late night TV
In her [Em]steam and [Em/D]steel is the [Em/C#]passion you [Cmaj7]feel

En[B7]dlessly

[VERSE 3]

[G]New York is a [D/F#]woman she'll [E]make you cry
[C]And to her you're [D]just another [G]guy

[G]Look down and [D/F#]see her ruined [E]places
[C]Smoke and ash still [G]rising to the [D]sky
She's [G]happy that you're [D/F#]here but w[E]hen you disappear
She won't [C]know that you're [D]gone to say [G]goodbye

[CHORUS 2]

And she's [Dm]every girl you've seen in every [Cmaj7]movie
[Dm]Every dame you've ever known on [Cmaj7]late night tv
In her [Em]steam and [Em/D]steel is the [Em/C#]passion you [Cmaj7]feel
[B7]Desperately

[VERSE 4]

[G]New York is a [D/F#]woman she'll [E]make you cry
[C]And to her you're [D]just another [G]guy
