Verse 1:
                      D     
 	 When i first saw New York city

 	 I was green down to the core

 	 You could see my red neck glowing

 	 For a mile or maybe more
                      A 
 	 Between the hustlers and the hookers

 	 I must have made their day

 	 Cause they peeled me like an apple,Lawd
                          D
 	 And sent me on my way


Bridge 1:

 	 When you're pushed and shoved and almost mugged

 	 It ain't no place to be

 	 So i came to one conclusion
             A
 	 New York ain't for me


Chorus:
              D
 	 From sea to shining sea

 	 And coast to coast

 	 Somewhere in the middle

 	 Is the land i love the most
                  A
 	 I ain't California pretty

 	 I can't survive the Great White Way

 	 I'm too dumb for New York city
                          D
 	 And too ugly for L.A.


Verse 2:

 	 I made my way to Tinseltown

 	 To Hollywood and Vine

 	 Out among those pretty faces

 	 I'd surely find a place for mine
              A    
 	 The way i walk-the way i talk

 	 They'll hang on every word

 	 But don't call me,i'll call you
                          D
 	 Was all i ever heard


Bridge 2:

 	 In L.A. what they're thinking
 	 
 	 Ain't what they talk about

 	 At least in New York city
            A
 	 There's never any doubt


Chorus.

             A
 	 I'm too dumb for New York city
                          D
 	 And too ugly for L.A.
