Intro: 

B A6 B Eadd9 Amaj7 B A6 Eadd9 

verse 1: 

B                                  A6 
The first to put a simple truth in words  

          B                           Eadd9 
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar  

       Amaj7                     B 
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas  

        A6                                     Eadd9 
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner  




  B                         A6 
Antenna up and out into New York  

    B                                   Eadd9 
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers  

    Amaj7                            B 
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk  

         A6                                 Eadd9 
It's the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko  


verse 2: 

B                      
Every bone of rivet steel  

     A6 
Each corner stone and angle  

      B 
Jenga jut and rusted water tower  

Eadd9 
Pillar post and sign  

      Amaj7                           B          
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town  

        A6                              Eadd9    
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be  

verse 3: 

B                      A6        
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices  

           B                                Eadd9  
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub  

         Amaj7 
Reaching down into the ground  

           B 
Stretching up into the sky  


Why?  

  A6 
Because they can  


They did and do  

   Eadd9 
So you and I could live together  

B A6 B Eadd9 Amaj7 B A6 Eadd9 B
