[D][D][D][D] If we're [D] lucky we [Dmaj7] feel our lives [Bm] Know when the next [Bm/A] scene arrives. So [G] often we start in the [D] middle and work our way [A] out. [A] We go to some [D] grey sky diner for [Dmaj7] eggs and toast, the [Bm] New York Times or the [Bm/A] New York Post. Then we [G] take a ride through the [D] valley of the shadow of [A] death. [A] But [G] even [A] for us [D] New York-[D7]-ers [D7] There's a [D7] time in every [G] day [D/F#] [Em] The [Em] river takes our [A] breath away. [A] And the [D] Hudson [D] [Dmaj7] [Dmaj7] it holds a [Bm] life. [Bm] [Bm/A] We thought we [Bm/A] did it on our [G] own [G] [A] [A] The [D] river roads [Dmaj7] collect the tolls [Bm] For the passage [Bm/A] of our souls. Through [G] silence, over [D] woods, the flowers [A] and snow. [A] And |
[D] past the George [Dmaj7] Washington Bridge, Down [Bm] from the trails of [Bm/A] Breakneck Ridge. The [G] river's ancient [D] path is sacred and [A] slow. [A] And [G] as it [A] swings through [D] Harlem [D] [D7] [D7] It's every shade of [G] blue [D/F#] [Em] [Em] Into the city of the [A] new brand new. [A] And the [D] Hudson [D] [Dmaj7] [Dmaj7] it holds the [Bm] life. [Bm] [Bm/A] We thought [Bm/A] we did it on our [G] own [G] [A] [A] I [G] thought I [A] had no [D] sense of [D] place or [G] past. Time [D/F#] was too [Em] slow, but [A] then too [Bm] fast. The [Bm] river [E] takes us [E] home at [G] last [G] [A] [A] [D] [D] [D] Where and when does the [Dmaj7] memory take hold, [Bm] Mountain range in the [Bm/A] Autumn cold. And I [G] thought West Point was [D] Camelot in the [A] spring. [A] If you're |
[D] lucky you'll find some- [Dmaj7]-thing that reflects you [Bm] Helps you feel your [Bm/A] life protects you [G] Cradles you and con- [D]-nects you to every- [A]-thing. [A] This [G] whole life [A] I re- [D]-member [D] [D7] As they [D7] begged them to it [G] self [D/F#] [Em] Never [Em] turn me into [A] someone else. [A] And the [D] Hudson, [D] [Dmaj7] [Dmaj7] it holds the [Bm] life [Bm] [Bm/A] We thought [Bm/A] we did it on our [G] own [G] [A] [A] And the [D] Hudson, [D] [Dmaj7] [Dmaj7] it holds the [Bm] life [Bm] [Bm/A] We thought [Bm/A] we did it on our [G] own [G] [A] [A] [D] Oh [D] [Bm] [Bm] [F#m7] Oh [F#m7] [A] [A] [D] Oh [D] [Bm] [Bm] [F#m7] Oh [F#m7] [A] [A] [D] Oh [D] [Bm] [Bm] [F#m7] Oh [F#m7] [A] [A] [D] [D] [Bm] [Bm] [F#m7] [F#m7] [A] [A] [D] |
