[Verse]
        G
You can never go back to New York
          C                       G
'Cause it changes as quick as the weather
C                  G
Everyone sing it together
        D                    D7
You can never go back to New York
        G
You can go back to Banff or Big Bear
        C                         G
And whatever you loved will still be there
C                        G
But if you don't plan to ski there
        D                    D7
You can never go back to New York

[Verse]
        G
You can go out of town for a week
         C                       G
And they move it all round to confuse you
C                     G
Adding new things to amuse you
        D                         D7
Just in case you come back to New York
      G
I was only away for six years
          C                         G
And you'd think I'd arrived from Wisconsin
C                        G
Lots of fresh meat for romancin'
           D                     D7
Woof, it's fun to go back to New York

[Verse]
        G
You can never go back to New York
   C                        G
Anyway, dear, why would you want to?
C                              G
There's a new New York to move on to
          D                   D7
Who would ever go back to New York?
