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
