Lyrics and song progression:
INTRO:
(Play progression one twise)
VERSE: (Play progression one throughout)
Well I shuffled through the city on the Fourth of July
Had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breaking like a robber who was making his way
To the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
Had a tar on the corner of Tenth
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I been broke I’ve been busted up since
CHORUS: (Play progression two once)
Love don’t play any games with me
Anymore like she did before
World won’t wait so I better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you New York
INVERT:
(Play progression one twise)
VERSE: (Play progression one throughout)
Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn’t lose it out on Lutheran Place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the children they were singing the tunes
Out on the streets and you could hear from the side
Used to take the subway out of Houston and Third
I would wait for you and not try to hide
CHORUS: (Play progression two once)
Love won’t play any games with you
Anymore if you don’t want her to
World won’t wait I watched you shake
But honey I don’t blame you
Hell, I still love you New York
INVERT:
(Play progression one twise)
VERSE: (Play progression one throughout)
I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the Upper West Side
Babe, you stood there singing I was holding you arm
You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
As we left before we had to go
CHORUS: (Play progression two once)
Love won’t play any games with you
Anymore if you don’t want her to
Sweep and shake this old thing out the door
I’ll always be thinking of you
I’ll always love you though New York
End on A
Enjoy,

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ADAMS RYAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
