[Verse 1]
New [D]York New York,
[Gm]big city of dreams
And everything in New York ain't
always [F]what [D]it seems
You might get fooled if you
come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I
know [D]my way [D]around

[Verse 2]
Too [D]much, too many people,
too [D]much (aha- ha)
Too much, too many people,
[D]too [A]much, [D]Raaah!

[Verse 3]
A castle in the sky, one mile [Gm]high
[D]Built to shelter the rich and [Gm]greedy
[F]Rows of [Dm]eyes, disguised as [D]windows
Looking down on the poor and the needy
Miles of [Dm]people, marching [Gm]up the avenue
[D]Doin? what they gotta do, just to get by
I'm [Gm]living [D]in the land of plenty and many
But I'm damn sure poor
and I don't know why

[Verse 4]
Too [D]much, [Dm]too many peopl[D]e,
too [F]much
Too much, too many [Am]people,
[D]too much!

[Verse 5]
[A][D]
A man's on a ledge,
[Dm]says [D]he's gonna jump
People gather round, said,
"He won't he's just a chump"
[D]?Cause he lost his job, then he got robbed
His mortgage is due and
his marriage is through
[G]He says he ain[D]'t gon[Dm]na
[F]pay [Dm]no child support
[D]Because the bitch left him
without a second thought
He [Gm]got n[A]othing t[Am]o ea[D]t, no sh[Am]oes on[D] his fe[Am]et
[D]She even left his clothes out in [F]the[G] street
He [Dm]keeps [F]hearing [Dm]noises
when [D]he's at home
He always hears voices
when he's all [D]alone
His wife took the kids, the car and the crib
In this man's world,
so much for Women's Lib
[D]New York

[Verse 6]
[F]New Yor[Gm]k big city of [G]dreams[D]
But everything in New York
ain't al[Bb]ways what it seems
[F]You might get foo[Gm]led if [F]you
[G]come from [D]out of town
But I'm down by law,
and I know my way [A]around

[Verse 7]
[D]Down in the Village,
you might think I'm silly
But you can't tell the women from
the men [D]sometimes
They're sugar and spice
and everything nice
But when you get ?em home ain't
[Am]no telling what you [G]find
[D]Right next door is a little old man
I seen him eating dog food out of a can
He [F]says, "I [D]got to [F]eat,
when [Dm]I can[Am]'t afford me[D]at
[Am]I bare[D]ly can stand, on my own two feet
[D]I got a bad habit and I just
can't break it
Something?s on my mind
and I just can't shake it
I [D]need some time,
and I want some space
I gotta get away from the hu[Am]man race?
[Gm]Too much,

[Verse 8]
[F]too[Gm] many peo[G]ple,
[D]too muc[F]h (aha- ha)
[Gm]Too much, too [D]many people,
too [A]much! [D]Raaah!

[Verse 9]
Staring at [D]a skyscraper
reaching into heaven
When over in the ghetto
I'm livin' in [D]hell
Just play ball or be an entertainer
'Cause niggaz like me
can't [C]read too [Gm]well
[G]Nobody [D]lov[Dm]es me,[D] nobody cares
I dreamed about a life but I'm
livin' in a nightmare
Paranoid schizo, set back, snowbound
Bad news psycho, heart attack,
breakdown!

[Verse 10]
Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh
Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh
Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh, Hee, Huh
Hee, Huh, Hee, [D]Huh, Hee,
[A]Huh[D], Hee, HUH!

[Verse 11]
If [D]only [Dm]I could sleep just ten more mi[Am]nutes
[D]I might find the strength
to make another day
[C]If [D]I didn't have to get up and [Dm]do my [D]thing
I would probably sleep my
whole life [D]away
I messed up a nice dream,
somethin' bout ice cream
Whipped cream,
fruits and a cherry on [D]top
Now I gotta get up and face the world,
huh
The pressure is on,
It ain't [F]never gonna [G]stop
[Dm]I sho' gotta learn to use my mind
I don't [D]want to be kissing
nobody's behind
Just [F]standin' [Dm]on line lookin' li[D]ke a jerk
Gotta get off my butt and
do a full day's work
[D]I ran into a p[Dm]othole, got
in[D]to a car crash
Should?a been thinking and
tried to fake whiplash
[D]A crowd gathered [Dm]round,
they're [D]callin' me [Gm]fat
Who you lookin' at with a face like that?
[C]New

[Verse 12]
[F]York New [Gm]York big
city [G]of dreams
[D]Everything in New York ain't
always what [Gm]it seems
[F]You mig[G]ht get fooled if you
come from out of [D]town
But I'm down by law
and I know [A]my way [D]around

[Verse 13]
On 42nd Street, lookin' for some [Am]action
[D]Wo men standing on the corner
selling satisfaction
[D]One young punk just leaning on the fence
Tryin' to make a [D]dollar
out of fifteen [G]cents
[Dm]Really is a [D]prankster, tried
to be a gangster
Real big wheel when a gun is in his hands
[D]Just did a stick- up, just got picked up
One dead punk, killed by the man

[Verse 14]
New [F]York New [Gm]York big city
of dreams
And everything in New York
ain't always what it seem
You [F]might get [Gm]fooled if you
[G]come from out of town
But I'm down by law
and I know my way around

[Verse 15]
Too [F]much, [Gm]too many peopl[G]e,
too [D]much (ha ha ha ha)
Too [F]much, [G]too many people,
too [D]much! Huh!

[Verse 16]
A baby cries and a [D]mother dies
And the tears fall from
the doctor's eyes
Because [D]in this room, on this day
The Good Lord has giveth,
and taketh away, huh!
The [D]gift of life really means a lot
And in the ghetto your life is all you got
So you take to the [D]streets,
try[Am]ing to exist
In the trash and slime of a world like this
What you [D]watch on TV tells you
what life is supposed to be
But when you look [D]outside
the only thing you see
Is the poverty stricken reality,
Heh!
Abandoned [D]places, angry faces
Much hate and hunger
throughout the races
You say, [D]"I'm grown and I'm on my own
So why don't everybody just
leave me alone!"
Now you stay [Dm]at home,
talking on the [D]phone
Doin' ninety miles an hour
in the fifty mile zone
They never took the time
to tell you ?bout sex
So you had to learn about
it in the discotheques
Nine months later, the baby is there
And the Nigga that did it said,
"I don't care!"
You don't have enough
[D]money to help [Dm]feed two
So you have to choose
between the baby and you
The [D]sky was crying, rain and hail
When you put your baby
in the garbage pail
Then you kissed the kid [D]and put down the lid
And you tried to forget
what you just did, Huh!
The muffled [Dm]screams of a dying baby
Was enough to drive the
young mother crazy
So she ran in the rain trying to
ease the pain
Huh huh, And she drove herself insane

[Verse 17]
New York New [G]York big city of dreams
But everything in New York
ain't always what it seem
You [F]might get [G]fooled if you
come from out of town
But I'm down by law
and I know my way around

[Verse 18]
Too [F]much, [G]too many people,
too much (haha ha ha)
Too [F]much, [Gm]too many people,
too [D]much! HUH!

[Verse 19]
New [F]York New [Gm]York big city of dreams
But everything in New York
ain't always what it seem
You [F]might get [Gm]fooled if you
come from out of town
But I'm down by law
and I know my way around

[Verse 20]
Too [F]much, [Gm]too many people,
too much (haha ha ha)
Too [Gm]much, too many people,
too [D]much[A]
