Pretty simple song, but none of the verses or choruses are quite the same,
and there's a half phrase in the middle, so be careful. You can throw a
low open e as you switch between G and C chords in the first part of the
verses.

I took a plane, I took a train
Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city
I said to Carl, look up for once
see just how the sun sets in the sky
I said to John, do you think the girls here
Ever wonder how they got so pretty
Well, I do
x3
Look out upon the myriad harbour x3
x2
All the boys with their homemade microphones
have very interesting sound
All the girls falling to ruin dropping out of school,
breaking Daddy's heart just to hang around
I walked into the local record store and asked for
An American music anthology
It sounds fun. They tore my skirt.
Stuck it on the walls at P.S. 1

I took a plane, I took a train
Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city
Stranded at Bleecker and Broadway
Looking for something to do
Someone somewhere asked me, is there
Anything in particular I can help you with
All I ever wanted help with was you
Am x4
Look out upon the myriad harbour x4
ooooouuuuurrrr oh ah ah
