    B                               A
The first to pour a simple truth in words
          B                        E
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
       A                         B
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
       A                                      E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner


  B                           A
A tenner, up and out into New York
    B                                 E
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
    A                               B
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
         A                                  E
It's the modern road where folk are nice to Yoko


B                               A
Every bone of rivet steel, each corner stone an anchor
B                                  E
Jenga jutts and rusty water tower, pillar-posted sign
      A                               B
Every painted lining battered, like a building in this town
        A                              E
Sings a life of proud endeavor and the best that man can be


B                      A
Me, I see a city and I hear a million voices
          B                                 E
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
         A                                B
Reaching down into the ground, stretching up into the sky
       A                                  E
Why? Because they can, they did and do so you and I could live together

    B                   A
The desire to part sure symphony
    B                     E
The desire like a distant storm
    A        B
For love, be good for me
       A                                      E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner

B               A
The way the day begins
B                    E
Decides the shade of everything
        A                                B
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
    A                         E
For every soul, a pillow at a window, please
     A                                   E        B
In a modern room, where folk are nice to Yoko
