[Chorus]
E
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
A E
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
B7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
E
The faucets that drip in New York
[Verse 1]
E
You can't ask the landlord to put in a washer
A E
He'd rather you move than to put in a washer
B7
The faucets are dripping, they sound in my ears
E
The tap in the bathroom's been running for years
[Chorus]
E
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
A E
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
B7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
E
The faucets that drip in New York
[Verse 2]
E
There's a wild streak of green in the sink in the kitchen
A E
It comes from the rill trickling out of the plumbing
B7
The streams from the mountains, the pools from the lea
E
All run from my faucet and down to the sea
[Chorus]
E
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
A E
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
B7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
E
The faucets that drip in New York
[Verse 3]
E
You can't ask the landlord to put in a washer
A E
You can't ask the landlord to mend the old stairs
B7 E
He takes in the rents and he lives in Miami
B7 E
Where faucets don't drip and there's sun everywheres
[Chorus]
E
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
A E
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
B7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
E
The faucets that drip in New York
[Verse 4]
E
The faucets are dripping, the landlord's content
A E
With every new tenant he raises the rent
B7 E
The buildings can crumble, the tenants can cry
B7 E
There's a shortage of housing, you'll live there or die
[Chorus]
E
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
A E
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
B7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
E
The faucets that drip in New York
[Verse 5]
E
They're building some buildings and fine city centers
A E
It's sure working hell with the low-income renters
B7
They're jammed into rooms with the rat and the fly
E
Where the faucets all drip and the floor's never dry
[Chorus]
E
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
A E
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
B7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
E
The faucets that drip in New York
