Chords for Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind, Part II Live | iHeartRadio Concerts

The first time I heard my music on the radio, I was driving [A] down the BQE _ [D#] in my first car,
and I almost [D] swerved out of control, hit all of those [F#m] orange construction things on the road.
I lost it.
I was so excited.
I [F#] couldn't believe it.
Screaming by myself, by the way. _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I want to play this for you different than you ever heard before.
[F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ I grew up in a town that was famous as a place of [B] movie scenes. _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ Noise was always loud.
There were sirens all around in the [B] streets of me. _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ I can make it here.
I can make it anywhere.
That's [B] what they say. _
_ _ _ _ [F#] See my face in the lights.
On my name, I'm a key to found and I'm [B] brought away. _
_ _ _ _ [A#] Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocket full of dreams.
Baby, I'm [B] from New York.
Concrete jungle with dreams [F#] of mayhem.
There's nothing you [C#] can't do.
Now you're [B] in New York. _ _
These streets will make you [F#] feel brand new.
They got it where [C#] you want.
Here in [F#] New York, New York, New [B] York.
_ _ [F#] _ On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew.
Ladies [B] work so _ _ hard.
_ _ _ [F#] _ Such a mountain pie on the corner selling bright creatures.
[B] I'm a crazy _ _ cat.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Take me down from Harlem to the [B] Brooklyn _ _ _ Bridge.
_ _ _ Someone sleeps at night with a hunger for more than an empty _ _ fridge.
_ _ _ [A#] I'm gonna make it by any means.
I got a pocket full of dreams.
Baby, I'm [B] from New York.
Concrete jungle with dreams of mayhem.
There's nothing you [C#] can't do.
Now you're in [B] New _ York.
These streets will make you [F#] feel brand new.
They got it where you want.
[C#] _ Here in [B] New York, New York, New York.
_ _ One hand in the air for the big city.
Streetlights, big dreams, all look [C#] pretty.
No place in the world that ain't home, [D#m] yeah.
Put your hands in the air.
Everybody [A#] say yeah, yeah, yeah.
_ In [B] New York. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
These streets will make you [F#] feel brand new. _ _
[C#] _ _ Now _ [B] you're _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [B] in New _ _ York.
These streets will make you [F#] feel brand new. _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ What's up?
I'm Alicia Keys.
I heart music and I heart sweet potatoes.
And I heart radio.
