Brad's Paul Simon Guitar Tablature Page (www.bradpriddy.com/paul_simon)
........................... A Heart in New York ...........................
This tab is a combination of my own ideas and those from other sources. It
is written for solo acoustic guitar to match the recording from Simon and
Garfunkel's Concert in Central Park. Use Travis picking throughout, except
where noted otherwise. The first half of the tab uses a rolling Travis
style, while the second half uses a more traditional Travis pattern.
% indicates a repeat of the previous measure.
Capo 5th fret

Lyrics:
New York, to that tall skyline I come,
Flying in from London to your door.
New York, lookin' down on Central Park,
Where they say you should not wander after dark.
New York, like a scene from all those movies,
But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart,
A heart that lives in New York.
A heart in New York, a rose on the street.
I write my song to that city heartbeat.
A heart in New York, a love in her eye,
An open door and a friend for the night.
New York, you got money on your mind.
And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference,
So here's to you New York.
