Suzanne Vega - New York Is a Woman

      CAPO 1

[VERSE 1]

G             D/F#                   E
New York City spread herself before you
         C                G               D/F#
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars

G         D/F#               E
You were impressed with the city so undressed
    C              D               G
You had to go out cruising all the bars

[VERSE 2]

G                  D/F#                    E
Your business trip extended through the weekend
C             G                  D/F#
Suburban boy here for your first time
        G     D/F#   E
From the 27th floor above the midtown roar
         C              D              G
You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime

[CHORUS 1]
          
          Dm                              Cmaj7
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
Dm                              Cmaj7
Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
       Em        Em/D         Em/C#       Cmaj7
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

  B7
Endlessly

[VERSE 3]

G             D/F#         E
New York is a woman she'll make you cry
C                 D            G
And to her you're just another guy

G             D/F#           E
Look down and see her ruined places
C                   G             D
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
      G                 D/F#      E
She's happy that you're here but when you disappear
          C                D           G
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye


[CHORUS 2]

          Dm                              Cmaj7
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
Dm                              Cmaj7
Every dame you've ever known on late night tv
       Em        Em/D         Em/C#       Cmaj7
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
B7
Desperately

[VERSE 4]

G             D/F#         E
New York is a woman she'll make you cry
C                 D            G
And to her you're just another guy
