New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down by LCD Soundsystem
New York I Love You But Youre Bringing Me Down
Tuning: eBGDAE (Standard)
Intro is mostly the piano, but you could easily accent it some with these chord shapes.
"New York I love you,..." ..."down."
e|-1----------------------------5-----------4--------------------------------|
B|-1----------------------------6-----------6--------------------------------|
G|-2----------------------------7-----------6--------------------------------|
D|-3----------------------------7-----------6--------------------------------|

(Just before the line "New York you're safer...")
e|-1----------------------------5-----------4-----------------8--------------|

G|-2----------------------------7-----------6-----------------10-------------|
D|-3----------------------------7-----------6-----------------10-------------|
A|-3----------------------------5-----------4--------4--6--7--8--------------|

Continue this general pattern, throwing these variations as desired.

D|-3---------------7-----------6---------------------------------------------|

Riff in the background from time to time.

(Starting at "Oh, take me off your mailing lists...", Murphy starts a little solo thing
in the background)

As Murphy shouts "Oh!", I like to accent the piano chord "crashes" I guess with this
note and variations on the picking of it, fading off back into the same chords used earlier
in the song.

G|-10--10--10-10-10-10~~~----------------------------------------------------|

Now the real solo. Most of these notes are right, or at least they'll put your fingers
in the right area.

After the music fades and comes back, it's the same chords, but in this kind of
sound/strum pattern.
e|-------8----------------8---------------5-------------4--------|

And end on the 8th fret, A string. Let it ring.
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
New York, you're perfect
Don't please don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown
And oh.. Take me off your mailing list
For kids that think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
Maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And myabe you're right
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And just maybe you're right
And Oh..
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
But maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And just maybe she's wrong
Maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And if so, is there?
