The Streets Of New York Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]His[Em][F][Dm]
[Am]body's aching
and he's [Em]lying in the door
[F]I cannot look at him,
he's [Dm]covered up with sores
[Am]He was an inmate once,
a [Em]victim of the stress
They [F]put him back into society,
they [C]gave him this ad[G]dress
[C]On the streets of
New
[F]York, I [G]see no [F]evil[C]
On the streets of
New
[F]York,
I, [G]I see only p[F]eople[C]
[Am]I see a little baby,
it's [Em]on the evening news
[F]Someone left them in a hallway,
in a [Dm]box that's meant for shoes
[Am]I cannot look at this,
I [Em]swear I'm not that numb
[F]I can't blame his mother,
how could she [C]know what [G]she done
[C]On the streets of
New
[F]York, I [G]see no [F]evil[C]
On the streets of
New
[F]York,
I, [G]I see only p[F]eople[C]
[Am]Hey baby, won't you pick me up and
won't you [Em]take me home tonight
[Am]Put on your sexy clothes,
we'll [Em]stay up till it's light
[Am]I am not using you and
[Em]you're not using me
An[F]d we'll use everything we've got for a[Dm]
moment to be [G]free[C][F][G]
[F][C][Dm][F][G]
[F][C]
[Am]I am no preacher man,
I [Em]do more wrong than right
[F]Pick me up and we'll get high tonight,
I [Dm]just don't wanna fight
[Am]But I'm a witness and
believe [Em]me so are you
[F]Oh, close your eyes, close your ears, close your mouth,
we ain't mon[C]keys, get that [G]through
On [C]the streets of
New
[F]York,
[G]I, I see no [F]evil
[C]On the streets of
New
[F]York
I, [G]I see o[Am]nly p[F]eople
[C]On the streets of
New
[F]York
I, [G]I see no e[F]vil[C]
On the streets of
New
[F]York
I, [G]I feel only people
[F][C]
