Finger-picking.
First tab, so its not guaranteed, but it sounds right.
Enjoy. Play it at parties if you want people to think you're whiny, neurotic and suicidal.
[C]If I had a girl on 9th avenue
I know exactly what[F] she would do
She would [D]wander at [G]dawn [D]look around At [G]folks
Find s[D]omeone better l[G]ooking who t[D]ells Better j[G]okes
A[F]nd then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east [C]alone
[Em]9 8 7th [Am]avenue
[Em]Now I'm crossing [Am]Madison
[Em]Sobbing on Park A[Am]venue
[F]Feeling bad on Lexington
[Em]3 2 1st [Am]avenue
[Em]Going east [Am]with the wind
[Em]Cross the FD[Am]R to the east [F]river
Fall right[C] in
And if I had a girl on 10th avenue
I know exactly what she would do
She would wander at day look at all the Guys
Find someone who's read more books And has bluer eyes
And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone
9 8 7th avenue
Now I'm crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Fall right in
And if I had a girl on 11th avenue
I know exactly what she would do
She would wander at night hang around At bars
Find someone who draws better and Plays prettier guitar
And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone
9 8 7th avenue
Now I'm crossing Madison
Sobbing on Park Avenue
Feeling bad on Lexington
3 2 1st avenue
Going east with the wind
Cross the FDR to the east river
Throw myself in
[F]Until the scum in the east river would [G]Drown me
[F]The phlegm and rotten rats would [G]Surround me
[F]The shattered cars at the bottom all [G]Around me
[F]Until I was just another scum in the [C]East river
[F]And when I become the scum it's my[Em] Job to drown
[F]The pathetic hopes and failures of[Em] the Next unloved clown
[F]Though maybe it would be a girl and We coul[Em]d become scum together
[F]Decompose as the river flows
[Em]Become one scum together
Become one forever
One bloated rotten putrid scum [C]forever
