capo: 2nd fret

[intro]

Em C Em C

[verse]

Em
A morning full of promise in ‘L’I’C’
G
Got chores to do a load of laundry
Em
But i’ll see you later
G
If you’ll come and see me
Em
Can’t hear you call me in the laundromat
G
Where the hip-hop proprietor presides
Em
And courtly clients say ‘excuse me my brother’
G
As they open the dryers

[chorus]

Em G
Long island city, oh ‘L’I’C’
Em G
Where the yellow cabs come home to sleep
Em G
One stop from midtown i’ve missed you lately
Em D C
Jump on the subway and come, oh come see me

[verse]

Em
I’ll see you later in the court square diner
G
I love the pink formica
Em
Its neon lights will shine on our ice-cold beer
G
I will eat the fries you order

[chorus]

Em G
Long island city, oh ‘L’I’C’
Em G
Where the yellow cabs come home to sleep
Em G
One stop from midtown i’ve missed you lately
Em D
Jump on the subway and come
C G Am G Am G
Oh come see me

[verse]

Em
I’m up late waiting in long island city
G
Waiting for you to come see me
Em
I’m being lulled to sleep
G
By the distant sound of the subway
Em
I’ll keep waiting for you here in queens
G
23rd street and ely
Em
I need you here with me
G
Cause i’m lonely in long island city

[chorus]

Em G
Long island city, oh ‘L’I’C’
Em G
Where the yellow cabs come home to sleep
Em G
One stop from midtown i’ve missed you lately
Em D
Jump on the subway and come
C
Oh come see me
