Manhattan Skyline
Intro: Amaj7 | Amaj7/E | Amaj7/F# | Dmaj7
The intro chords are the chords for all the verses but played slower than the Intro.
Amaj7
We sit and watch umbrellas fly
Amaj7/F# Dmaj7
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
Amaj7
I hear myself say
Amaj7/F#
My boat's leaving now
Dmaj7
So we shake hands and cry
F#m7
Now I must wave goodbye
E Dmaj7
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
E Dmaj7
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Amaj7
You know I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again
I don't want to cry again
We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain brings back words of a song
And they sing wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
You know I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again
I don't want to cry again
So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons

Technically there are other names
for the * chords but i think it's
better named this way as they are
just added accents of the
original chord.
