This tab isn't of the entire song. Specifically I left out the "They love me at the
they adore me at the Ritz" because it's somewhat un-melodic and I couldn't really figure it out.
I wrote these tabs with timing in mind. I put the chords over the word it should be played on.
In some cases it's over the part of the word it should be played. example; F starts on
'lancey' in 'Delancey'.
Here are the chords I use:
G 3-5-5-4-3-3-|
F 1-3-3-2-1-1-|
Eb x-6-8-8-8-6-|
Bb 6-8-8-7-6-6-|
D x-5-7-7-7-5-|
Eb7 x-6-8-6-8-6-|
Em 0-2-2-0-0-0-|
D* x-0-0-2-3-2-|
C x-3-2-0-1-0-|
One minute I'm in Central Park
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
From the Bow'ry to St Marks
There's a syncopated Beat
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise, I can improvise
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetsmart, I've got New York City heart
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire
Em D*
The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Em D*
Then you can own this town
You can wear the crown
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire
