Original Key Capo 2 E Amaj7 Ooohh New York x2 E Amaj7 Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes E Amaj7 Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean E Amaj7 If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say E Amaj7 Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway G# Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams Amaj7 Baby, I'm from New York E Concrete jungle where dreams are made of B There's nothing you can't do Amaj7 Now you're in New York E These streets will make you feel brand new B Big lights will inspire you Amaj7 Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork! E Amaj7 On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard E Amaj7 Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God E Amaj7 Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge E Amaj7 Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/alicia-keys/208335.html ] G# I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams Amaj7 Baby, I'm from New York E Concrete jungle where dreams are made of B There's nothing you can't do Amaj7 Now you're in New York E These streets will make you feel brand new B Big lights will inspire you Amaj7 Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork! Amaj7 One hand in the air for the big city, Amaj7 Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty B No place in the world that can compare C# G# Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah In New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork! ------------------ ALTERNATE CHORDING ------------------ If you're a dude like me and you dig Ms. Keys but can't hit the notes well enough in the orginal key try the following and move the capo up and down the neck until you hit a range that you think you can handle. For this example we'll play it down so even the high parts rest comfortably within a male range.
