E Now I'm high in the city Feel the evening air The crowds in the city C G Compete for a share E It's all so busy, a complete affair F#m Down here... E As I walk through marble D C#m E Finding my way out to daylight F#m E One drinking orange vodka D Someone inside here E Will give us a ride dear B I know a place where we both can go E To set our hearts on fire B I know the city's the only show Chorus: E A D Can I take you for a ride E A D I can make you satisfied E A D All in all it's worth your while E Bm Change that frown back to a smile C#m Tonight Do or die in the misty city All night long A nightclub in the middle Tappin' time to my song Catch hell for leavin' They are always wrong Down here... As I walk through marble Finding my way in the night-light Two people sit and argue Someone inside here Will give them a ride clear I know a place where we both can go To set our hearts on fire I know the city's the only show Chorus E Do or die in the city Feel the evening air The crowds in the city C G Compete for a share E It's all so busy It’s all so busy You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  Bm  C  C#m  D  E  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
