Old Manhattan Melodies - Gary Brooker

[Intro]

C C7/E F G


[Verse 1]

C                  C7/E
Wouldn't changed a single word
F                        G
Or touch a single note
C                        C7/E
Of those old songs those New York Songs
F                          G
Of love that we once wrote
C                       C7/E
And though it hurts now we're apart
F                           G
And different dreams pursue
C                  C7/E
Fragments of those songs remain
F                        G
In whispered shades of blue


[Chorus]

C             D     G/B  C  Em
Old Manhattan melodies
F               C            G                C      G
Echo through my broken heart and call me back to you
C             D     G/B  C  Em
Old Manhattan melodies...
F               C            G                C      G
Why Oh why the echoes cry I only wish I knew


[Verse 2]

C                   C7/E
Lighthouse shine in Quarter time
F                            G
And guide me from this coast
C                    C7/E
In case I run around once more
F                          G
And meet you or your ghost
C                   C7/E
I'ver tried I can't turn back the clock
F                           G
Your ships too long at sea
C                  C7/E
A dream the river stole away
F            G
Oh Misty Melody...


[Chorus]

C             D     G/B  C  Em
Old Manhattan melodies...
F               C            G                    C        G
Echo through my aching heart and tell me you're still true
C             D     G/B  C  Em
Old Manhattan melodies
F               C            G                C      G
Why Oh why the whole world cries I only wish I knew


[Chorus]

C             D     G/B  C  Em
Old Manhattan melodies...
F               C            G                C      G
Every note a memory some happy and some blue
C             D     G/B  C  Em
Old Manhattan melodies...
F               C            G                       F
Whisper through my lonely heart and call me back to you.
C      F  G  C 
To You
