New York City — The Statler Brothers
Chords and lyrics for New York City by The Statler Brothers (key of C).
Verse 1
[C]She came to me shortly after [D7]Christmas
[F]Said she hated [G7]spoiling New Year's [C]Eve
But the truth doesn't wait to come in [D7]season
And [F]what we had [G7]feared was now [C]believed
She said she'd leave come Monday [D7]mornin'
[F]Catch a plane [G7]if I'd split the [C]fare
She said she had friends in New York [D7]City
She'd [F]look them up and [G7]have the baby [C]there
And [F]now she's alone in New York [C]City
[F]Livin' like Lord I wonder [C]how
An [Am]angel in hell in New York [D7]City
But [F]I can't [G7]think about that [C]now
[D]Honey will you tell him Bible [E7]stories
And [G]give him all the [A7]love I never [D]could
But never tell him too much about his [E7]daddy
Cause [G]there's not [A7]much to say that's [D]good
He'll have to learn it all from his [E7]mother
[G]How to count and [A7]say his [D]ABC's
But when you teach him prayers to say at [E7]bedtime
[G]Leave off God bless [A7]daddy won't you [D]please
And [G]now they're alone in New York [D]City
[G]Livin' like Lord I wonder [D]how
Two [Bm]angels in hell in New York [E7]City
But [G]I can't [A7]think about that [D]now
[G]I can't [A7]think about that [D]now
