I sometimes tune my low E to D and let it drone a little while playing. Just remember that it's tuned down when playing the other chords! (000232) (030230) (020230) (010233) D D9/C D9/B Dsus4/Bb I lost my car to the Riverside Drive, last seen headed up the Upper West Side D D9/C D9/B Dsus4/Bb 138th Street or 139, what's yours is theirs, what's theirs was mine. D D9/C D9/B Dsus4/Bb Now it's gone for parts, it's gone for fun, it's gone for sure - ask anyone D D/C D/B Dsus4/Bb No, they're not polite, they don't say please, in cover of night they never use keys (CHORUS) D Em A Now there's a stranger in my driver's seat Em A There's broken glass around his feet Em A The radio will change it's tune G G/F# Em Em7 D D9/C D9/B Dsus4/Bb Removed beneath a New York moon The precinct has an icy clerk, her hand fills out the paperwork But the cops don't look for stolen cars, you can wish upon a star It happens every now and then, people see their cars again Some are found on cinder blocks, open trunks and busted locks They say in this town nothing sleeps, that goes for thieves and chimney sweeps The smart ones say to keep your ride, park it on the Jersey side (CHORUS) Repeat 1st two lines then: Manhattan nights are filled with rats, Republicans and Democrats, Most of them have learned the rules, the rest of us just go to school. (CHORUS)
