Empire state of mind

[E]Ooh, New [Amaj7]York

[E]Ooh, New [Amaj7]York

 

[E]Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie [Amaj7]scenes

[E]Noise is always loud, there

are sirens all around and the streets are [Amaj7]mean

[E]If I can make it here, I can make

it anywhere, that's what they [Amaj7]say

[E]Seeing my face in lights or my name

in marquees found down on [Amaj7]Broadway

 

[G#]Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams

 

Baby I'm from [Amaj7]New York

Concrete jungle where dreams are made [E]of

There's nothing you [B]can't do

Now you're in [Amaj7]New York

These streets will make you feel [E]brand new

Big lights will [B]inspire you

Hear it for [Amaj7]New York, New York, New York

 

[E]On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so [Amaj7]hard

[E]Such a melting pot, on the corner

selling rock, preachers pray to [Amaj7]God

[E]Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn [Amaj7]Bridge

[E]Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty [Amaj7]fridge

 

[G#]I'ma make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams

 

Baby I'm from [Amaj7]New York

Concrete jungle where dreams are made [E]of

There's nothing you [B]can't do

Now you're in [Amaj7]New York

These streets will make you feel [E]brand new

Big lights will [B]inspire you

Hear it for [Amaj7]New York, New York, New York

 

[Amaj7]One hand in the air for the big city

Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty[B]

No place in the world that can compare[C#m]

Put your lighters in the [G#]air, everybody say

 

Baby I'm from [Amaj7]New York

Concrete jungle where dreams are made [E]of

There's nothing you [B]can't do

Now you're in [Amaj7]New York

These streets will make you feel [E]brand new

Big lights will [B]inspire you

Hear it for [Amaj7]New York, New York, New York
