I had a look through the other version on here and noticed that the
lyrics weren't all correct.  Also, I don't use a capo when I play
this song....

 New York, New York - Ryan Adams

Capo 2nd Fret

I saw this tab and played it but something didn't quite sound right.
Although I've only been playing a year I eventually realized that the
(C) Chord in some instances should have a (G) base. I've changed the
 offending Chords and marked them as C/G which should be played as
follows; 3X2013. To play this accurately at pace I found you must hold
 down the G chord using your pinky so that the change between the G
and C/G chords are a lot easier. The intro and the bridge between the
 chorus and the verses were also slightly out too as the C/G chord
should be utilized here as follows;

Intro/Bridge;  | G G C/G C/G | C/G C/G G G | G G C/G C/G | C/G C/G G G |

(G) Well I shuffled through the city (C/G) on the Fourth of July
Had a firecracker waiting to blow (G)
(G) Breaking like a robber (C) who was making his way
To the cities of Mexico (G)
(G) Lived in an apartment out (C/G) on Avenue A
Had a tar on the corner of Tenth (G)
(G) Had myself a lover who was (C) finer than gold
But I been broke I?ve been busted up since (G)

(D) Love don?t play (G) any (D) games with me (G)
Anymore(C) like she did before
(D) World won?t (G) wait so I (D) better shake
That (C) thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still (D) love you New York

Bridge; | G G C/G C/G | C/G C/G G G | G G C/G C/G | C/G C/G G G |

(G) Found myself a picture that would (C/G) fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good (G)
(G) Still amazed I didn?t lose it out on (C) Lutheran Place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you (G)
(G) Every day the children they were (C/G) singing the tunes
Out on the streets and you could hear from the side (G)
(G) Used to take the subway out of (C) Houston and Third
I would wait for you and not try to hide (G)

(D) Love won?t (G) play any (D) games with you (G)
Anymore (C) if you don?t want her to
(D) World won?t (G) wait I (D) watched you shake (G)
But (C) honey I don?t blame you
Hell, I still (D) love you New York

Bridge; | G G C/G C/G | C/G C/G G G | G G C/G C/G | C/G C/G G G |

(G) I remember Christmas (C/G) in the blistering cold
In a church on the Upper West Side (G)
(G) Babe, you stood there singing I was (C) holding you arm
You were holding my trust like a child (G)
(G) Found a lot of trouble out on (C/G) Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low (G)
(G) Farewell to the city and the (C) love of my life
As we left before we had to go (G)

(D) Love won?t (G) play any (D) games with you (G)
Anymore (C) if you don?t want her to
(D) Sweep and (G) shake this old (D) thing out the (G) door
I?ll (C) always be thinking of you
I?ll always (D) love you though New York

Ending; | G G C/G C/G | C/G C/G G G | X4 to fade
(the last few G chords should be Gsus, played as 3X0013).

Thanks to the person who posted the original copy and I hope my modest
 alterations help make this wonderful song sound even more enjoyable
to play.

Tabbed by 4d
Pretty simple and accurate tab to play along to, there?s just 4 chords to learn to play it. The rhythm is 
tricky to get, but listen to the track a few hundred times, play along and then you?ve got it.

Intro: A and A/D changing (listen to track to see about timing)

Verse 1: A changing to A/D half way through each line

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
I had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breakin' like a rocket who was makin' its way
Ro the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on avenue a
I had a tar hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I've been broken up and busted up since

Chorus:
E		A	E		A	D
And love don't play any games with me, anymore
D
Like she did before
E		A		E	A
The world won't wait, so I better shake
D
That thing right out there through the door
					Change back to verse rhythm (A+A/D)
Hell, I still love you, New York

Verse 2: same
Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Everyday the children they were singing their tunes
Out on the streets and you could hear from inside
Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
I would wait for you and I'd try to hide

Chorus 2: same rhythm as chorus 1
And love won't play any games with me, anymore
If you don't won't it to
The world won't wait and I watched you shake
But honey, I don't blame you
Hell, I still love you New York

You don?t need to play the saxophone bit at the end, I reckon it ruins it anyway!

Had a tar on the corner of Tenth
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I been broke I?ve been busted up since

Out on the streets and you could hear from the side
Used to take the subway out of Houston and Third

          RIFF 1:
          A                                D/A
   Well I shuffled through the city on the Fourth of July
                                A
   Had a firecracker waiting to blow
   A                              D/A
   Breaking like a robber who was making his way
                        A
   To the cities of Mexico
   A                            D/A
   Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
                              A
   Had a tar on the corner of Tenth
   A                          D/A
   Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
                                        A
   But I been broke I've been busted up since
