An open base note on the E string sounds good when alternated between the 5
and 2 during the chorus.
And here s the lyrics
Well things were spinnin round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me
Been in so many places
You know I ve run so many races
And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night
And something is just not right cause I know
CHORUS:
That I gotta get out of here
I m so alone
Don t you know that I gotta get out of here
Cause New York s not my home
Though all the streets are crowded
There s something strange about it
Lived there bout a year and I never once felt at home
I though I d make the big time
I learned a lot of lessons awful quick
And now I m tellin you
That they were not the nice kind
And it s been so long since I have felt fine that s the reason
(Repeat Chorus)
