NEW YORK GROOVE
Russ Ballard
[Intro: Drums only]
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2 and Riff 1]
[Riff 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 5]
Many years since I was here, on the street I was passin' my time away
To the left and to the right, buildings towering to the sky
It's outta sight in the dead of night
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] (2x)
Here I am, and in this city, with a fistful of dollars
And baby, you'd better believe
[Rhy. Fig 6 w Rhy. Fig 7] (3x)
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2 and Riff 1] (2x)
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 9 and Riff 3] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 10 w/ Rhy. Fig 12 and Riff 4]
In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' 'Where are we?'
Stop at Third and Forty-three, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me
[Rhy. Fig 11 w/ Rhy. Fig 8]
Feels so good tonight, who cares about tomorrow
So baby, you'd better believe
[Rhy. Fig 13 w/ Rhy. Fig 14] (3x)
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 9 and Riff 3] (2x)
Back in the New York Groove, in the New York Groove
[Rhy. Fig 13 w/ Rhy. Fig 14 and Riff 5]
I'm back, back in the New York Groove (6x)
[Rhy. Fig 13 w/ Rhy. Fig 14 and Riff 6]
I'm back, back in the New York Groove
(repeat and fade)
