[play:  G  Am  G  Am]


VERSE:
     G                             Am                            G    Am
On Canal street in April when it's sixty and the snow is melting fast
           G                                Am
It's still shady in the morning when you're laughing
                         G    Am
In your t-shirt, running past

                   D                 C
In Tompkins Square Park, a couple is meeting
             D                        C
Say what you want but I feel my heart beating
              G                       Am                         G   Am
'Cause I love springtime in New York, springtime in New York, I do


VERSE:
      G                          Am                            G     Am
Springtime in New York when it's May and the leaves are on the trees
       G                               Am                   G      Am
When demolishing a building brings the smell of 1890 to the breeze

            D                 C
On First Avenue our couple is fighting
              D                   C
Springtime is wild, New York is exciting
           G                       Am                        G  A
And I love springtime in New York, springtime in New York, I do


[Guitar SOLO over VERSE chords]


VERSE:
(A)                                         Bm
    Well, springtime in New York, in thirty days 
                            A      Bm
Will come the sticky summer nights
              A                          Bm
And if you've been in New York city in July,
                               A     Bm
You know when I say sticky I'm right

            E                 D
On First Avenue our couple is breaking up
        E                     D
Evicted too, the lame must be shaken up
           A                       Bm                        A   Bm
But I love springtime in New York, springtime in New York, I do
A                       Bm                        A
Springtime in New York, springtime in New York, I do
