[Verse 1]
Cadd2 G/B F G
The village with its scrambled streets and lovers' lanes
C G/B F
The long lost rooms on Perry Street where love was slain
Am G F
The drifting dreams that turned to ashes in the rain
Cadd2 F G
The flights from fancy all along the vast terrain
C C/B Fmaj7
That always brought me back over the bridge of sighs
C C/B Fmaj7
The desperate dreams, the yearning and the lonely nights
Am G6 Fmaj7
In some far city where I salvaged sweet delights
C G7 G
Awake in sorrow, struggling to get back home
Am7 G Fadd9
Over the rivers, through thе woods, sore to the bone
Am7 G Fadd9 G
Thе windswept beaches where my shattered dreams could roam
[Verse 2]
C C/B Fmaj7
The dazzling stages, the bright lights where I dreamed and wept
C C/B Fmaj7
Embraced by music where the secrets were kept
Am G F
City of awakening, where I found myself
C F G
City of my youth, of poverty and wealth
Am7 G Fadd9
Stripped of roaming figures, you are still alive
Am G6 Fmaj7 G
You will blossom, you will win, you will survive
[Verse 3]
C G/B F G
Drunk in Greenwich Village, drunk in London Town
C G/B F
Drunk in mountain cities where the clouds came down
Am G6 Fmaj7
Sunlight pouring on my younger face
C G
Light and laughter, fear without a trace
Am7 G Fadd9
City of yearning, city of time
Am7 G Fadd9 G
City of beginning, city of rhyme
[Verse 4]
C G/B Fmaj7
The village with its scrambled streets and lovers' lanes
C G/B Fadd9
The long lost rooms on Perry Street where love was slain
Am7 Gadd11 F
The flights of fancy all along the vast terrain
C G
That brought me back over the bridge of sighs
