Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 This city is my city

 And I love it, yeah I love it

 I was born and raised here

 I got it made here

 And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay

Verse 1

 From every corner

 To every block yeah

 And whether it's warm or storming it down or right stupid hot, hot

 From the colors

 all the way to the solutions yeah

 Forget all the drugs and gangs, corruption and pollution no

Chorus

 Cause this city is my city

 And I love it, yeah I love it

 I was born and raised here

 I got it made here

 And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay here

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

Verse 2

 From every highrise

 Down to every slum

 From every unethical politician to the wise old beat up bum

 My city and I our hearts beat, beat, beat together

 When I'm home we both breathe, breathe, breathe together

 This place is my home, wherever I go, I, I, I, I take it with me

Chorus

 This city is my city

 And I love it, yeah I love it

 I was born and raised here

 I got it made here

 And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay here

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

 For life, uh huh

For life

Bridge

 And you can take my picture

 you can take my name

 But you're never gonna take my city away

 Cause you can burn it to the ground

 Oh or let it flood, but it's in my blood

Thank you! :)
