[G] Way [D7] downtown by th[G]e  East [C] River, [G] Far, far a[D7]way

[G] Still [D7] sadly to my [G] mem'ry [C] rushes, [G] No matter [D7] where I [G] rove

[G] There[D7]  shall I see old[G]  Ladies[C] chumming,[G]  All 'round the[D7]  green
[G] there[D7]  i'll hear car st[G]eroes a[C] bumping, sh[G]aking my  de[D7]ar old  sc[G]ene
