Song: First We Take Manhattan
By:   Jennifer Warnes

[intro:]   2 x [ Cm  | Gm ]
 
[verse: 1]
      Cm                              Gm      
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
      Cm                              Gm
For trying to change the system from within
     Cm                              Gm          
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
  F              Eb    
First we take Manhattan
D                Gm
  Then we take Berlin

[verse: 2]
     Cm                        Gm      
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
     Cm                             Gm
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
     Cm                           Gm     
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
  F              Eb    
First we take Manhattan
D                 Gm
  Then we take Berlin

[bridge:]
     Bb                             F     Eb  
I'd really like to live beside you baby    
   F         Bb                             Gm
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
        Cm                                       Gm       
But you see that line there moving through the station
   F           Eb          D     
I told you, I told you, I told you 
              Gm
I was one of those 

[solo: guitar] {same chords as second part of the bridge}
               | Cm   | Gm  |      
               | F    | Eb  | D  | Gm  | Gm  |

[verse: 3]
   Cm                                Gm    
I don't like your fashion business mister
   Cm                                   Gm
I don't like those drugs that keep you thin
   Cm                              Gm     
I don't like what happened to my sister
  F              Eb    
First we take Manhattan
D                Gm
  Then we take Berlin

[coda:]
                 Gm   
  Then we take Berlin
                 Gm  
  Then we take Berlin
