Composição de (Bob Dylan)
C              F           G            C    
Come you ladies and you gentlemen, a-listen to my song 
                 F             G                C 
Sing it to you right, but you might think it’s wrong 
               F            G          C 
Just a little glimpse of a story I’ll tell 
                     F             G        C 
’Bout an East Coast city that you all know well 
                            F 
It’s hard times in the country 
  G                      C 
Livin’ down in New York town 

    C         F          G           C    
Old New York City is a friendly old town 
                  F          G        C 
From Washington Heights to Harlem on down 
                       F           G           C     
There’s a-mighty many people all millin’ all around 
                                     F                     C 
They’ll kick you when you’re up and knock you when you’re down 
                            F 
It’s hard times in the country 
  G                      C 
Livin’ down in New York town 

         C          F              G      C  
It’s a mighty long ways from the Golden Gate 
                 F            G      C  
To Rockefeller Plaza ’n’ the Empire State. 
        F                 G         C 
Mister Empire sets up as high as a bird 
                         F           C 
Old Mister Rockefeller never says a word 
                              F    
It’s hard times from the country 
  G                      C  
Livin’ down in New York town 

           C           F                 G            C  
Well, it’s up in the mornin’ tryin’ to find a job of work 
               F              G             C 
Stand in one place till your feet begin to hurt 
                      F            G             C 
If you got a lot o’ money you can make yourself merry 
                    F               G             C 
If you only got a nickel, it’s the Staten Island Ferry 
                                F 
And it’s hard times in the country 
  G                      C 
Livin’ down in New York town 

         C      F      G                C 
Mister Hudson come a-sailin’ down the stream 
                  F     G            C 
And old Mister Minuet paid for his dream 
             F         G        C 
Bought your city on a one-way track 
                     F             C 
’F I had my way I’d sell it right back 
                                F 
And it’s hard times in the country 
 G                       C 
Livin’ down in New York town 

      C            F        G          C 
I’ll take all the smog in Cal-i-for-ne-ay 
                  F             G       C 
’N’ every bit of dust in the Oklahoma plains 
                     F            G              C 
’N’ the dirt in the caves of the Rocky Mountain mines 
                 F              G        C 
It’s all much cleaner than the New York kind 
                                F 
And it’s hard times in the country 
  G                      C 
Livin’ down in New York town 

    C              F       G               C 
So all you newsy people, spread the news around 
                       F       G          C 
You c’n listen to m’ story, listen to m’ song 
                    F             G              C 
You c’n step on my name, you c’n try ’n’ get me beat 
                                 F             C 
When I leave New York, I’ll be standin’ on my feet 
                                F 
And it’s hard times in the country 
  G                       C  F  G  C 
Livin’ down in New York town
