[C] Alright, this is called Mona Lisa's Mad Hatters and it's written about New York City.
Now I know [E]
Spanish [A] Harlem [G] [F] are not just pretty [C] words to say
[Dm]
I [C]
thought I knew, [E]
but now I [Am] know that [C] rose [F] trees never grow
[C] In New [Dm] York City
Until [Em] [F]
[C] you see [Dm] this trash can dream come [C] true
[F]
Stand at the [C] edge while [G]
people run you [C] through
[F]
And I thank the [C] Lord there's [Dm]
people out there like [C] you
I [F]
thank the Lord there's [C] people out there [Dm] like you
[G]
While Mona [C]
Lisa's and [Bb] Mad Hatters, sons [F] of bankers, sons of [C] lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the [F] night
For [E] unless they see [Am] the sky, [C] but [F] they can't [C] and that is [D] why
They [F] know not if it's [G]
dark outside [F] or light
[C]
This Broadway's got, [E] it's got a [Am] lot of songs to [C] sing
[F] If I knew the [C] tunes I might [Dm] join in
I [C] go my way alone, [E] I grow [Am] my own, my own [F] seeds shall be sown
[C]
In New [Dm] York City
There's [Am] [F] always [C] no way [Dm] for a good man to go [C] down
[Dm] [F] Rich [C] man can ride and [G] the whole world he can [C]
drown
