[VERSE]
He was [Bb]standing on the [F]highway, somewhere [C]way out in the [F]sticks
Gui[Bb]tar across his [F]shoulder like a [C]30.06
He was [Bb]staring in my [F]headlights, when I [C]come around the [F]bend
Climbed [Bb]up on my [F]shotgun side and [C]told me with a grin

[CHORUS]
I’m [Bb]goin’ to [F]New York [C]City [F]
I’ve [Bb]never really [F]been there, just [C]like the way it sounds
I [Bb]heard the [F]girls are [C]pretty [F]
There [Bb]must be something [F]happening there, [C]it’s just too big a town

[VERSE]
He was [Bb]cold and wet and [F]hungry, but he [C]never did [F]complain
Said he’d [Bb]come a [F]thousand miles through [C]sleet and snow and rain
He [Bb]had a hundred [F]stories about, the [C]places that he’d [F]been
He’d [Bb]hang around a [F]little while and [C]hit the road again

[CHORUS]
I’m [Bb]goin’ to [F]New York [C]City [F]
I’ve [Bb]never really [F]been there, just [C]like the way it sounds
I [Bb]heard the [F]girls are [C]pretty [F]
There [Bb]must be something [F]happening there, [C]it’s just too big a town

[VERSE]
See, I’ve [Bb]been to New York [F]City, seems like [C]it was yester[F]day
I was [Bb]standing like a [F]pilgrim on the [C]great white way
The [Bb]girls were really [F]pretty, but they [C]wouldn’t talk to [F]me
I [Bb]held out about a [F]week, went [C]back to Tennessee

[VERSE]
So, I [Bb]thought I better [F]warn him, as he [C]climbed out of my [F]car
[Bb]Grabbed his battered [F]suitcase and [C]shouldered his guitar
I [Bb]knew I was just [F]jealous, if I [C]didn’t wish him [F]well
I [Bb]slipped the kid a [F]twenty, said, [C]Billy give'm hell

[CHORUS]
I’m [Bb]goin’ to [F]New York [C]City [F]
I’ve [Bb]never really [F]been there, just [C]like the way it sounds
I [Bb]heard the [F]girls are [C]pretty [F]
There [Bb]must be something [F]happening there, [C]it’s just too big a town

[Chorus again]
I’m [Bb]goin’ to [F]New York [C]City [F]
I’ve [Bb]never really [F]been there, [C]just like the way it sounds
I [Bb]heard the [F]girls are [C]pretty [F]
There [Bb]must be something [F]happening there, [C]it’s just too big a town
