I Happen To Like New York Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I happ[D]en t[G]o like[D] New [G]York.
I happen to like this town.
I like the city air.
I like to drink of it.
The more I know New York,
the more I think of it.
I like the sight and the sound
and even the stink of it.
I happen to like New York.
I like to [D]go to Battery [G]Park
and watch the liners booming in.
I often ask myself,
how can it be
that they should come so far
from across the sea?
I suppose it's because
they all agree with me.
They happen to like New York.
Last [Cm]Sunday af[Bb]ternoon,
[Eb]I to[Bb]ok a [Eb]trip to Hackensack.
And after I gave Hackensack the once -over,
I took the [D]next train [G]back
I happen to like New York,
I happen to love this berg
And when I have to give the world
my last farewell
And the undertaker starts
to ring my funeral bell
Don't wanna go to heaven,
don't wanna go to hell
I [D]happen to like New [G]York
I happen [D]to like New [G]York
