Verse 1

Harry Got Up, Dressed All In Black
Went Down To The Station, And He Never Came Back
They Found His Clothing Scattered Somewhere Down The Track
(E-G-C-A Base Notes)
Fmaj7/F# E7/5+ A7sus Am7
And He Won’t Be Down On Wall Street In The Morning.
He Had A Home, Love Of A Girl
But Men Get Lost Sometimes As The Years Unfurl
One Day, He Crossed Some Line, And He Was Too Much In This World
Fmaj7/F# E7/5+ Am
But I Guess It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

Chorus

In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Everything Can Change
In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Things Can Get Pretty Strange
In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Everything Can Change
In A New York Minute. OooooOooooOooooooooooooOooooOoooo

Verse 2

Lying Here In The Darkness, You Hear The Sirens Wail
Somebody going to Emergency, Somebody’s Going To Jail
C#-D-C#-B-A-C-B-A (Bass Line)
You Find somebody To Love In This World, You Better Hang On Tooth And Nail
Fmaj7/F# E7/5+ Am7 Am
The Wolf Is Always At The Door

Chorus

In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Everything Can Change
In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Things Can Get Little Strange
In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Everything Can Change
In A New York Minute. OooooOooooOoooooooooooooOoooooooOoooo

Bridge

In These Days, Darkness Falls Early
And People Rush Home To The Ones They Love
(A-G-F# bass notes)
Am/F# C7m/5+ Am/E Am/F#
You’d Better Take A Fools Advice Then Take Care Of Your own
A-C-B
E7sus C7m/5+ Am
One Day They’re Here, Next Day They’re Gone

Interlude

Am7 Em/A A7sus Am7 (x4)

Verse

Pulled My Coat Around My Shoulders, Took A Walk Down Through The Park
Leaves Were Falling Around Me, Groaning City In The Gathering Dark
On Some Solitary Rock, A Desperate Lover Left His Mark
(E-G-C-A Bass Notes)
Fmaj7/F# E7/5+ A7sus Am
He Said “Baby, I’ve Changed, Please Come Back”
What The Head Makes Cloudy, The Heart Makes Very Clear
I Know The Days Were So Much Brighter In The Time When She Was Here
I Know That Somebody Somewhere Can Make These Dark Clouds Disappear
Fmaj7/F# E7/5+ A7sus Am
But Until That Day, I Have To Believe, I Believe, I Believe

Chorus

In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Everything Can Change
In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Things Can Get Pretty Strange
In A New York Minute, OooooOooooOooooooooooo
Everything Can Change
In A New York Minute. OooooOooooOooooOoooooooOooooooooooo*
