You’re So Static Chords, Guitar Tab, & Lyrics - Elton John

[Intro]
E  E  E  E9  E
 
[Verse 1]
Am
I've a constant ache in the morning light
          Am7/F        G        C   F/C C
It's on account of the night before
     Am
Some Park Lane lady in a shady bar
       Am7/F        G        C   F/C C
Took a fancy to the watch I wore
 
[Bridge]
    Am
But I can still remember how she laughed at me
     Am7/F           G       C   F/C C
As I spun around and hit the bed
         Am
She said thank you honey, forget about the money
     Am7/F           G    Am
This pretty watch'll do instead
 
[Chorus]
E                            F
City living woman, you're so static
G                                 C
Matching your men with a hook and eye
          E                Am/E              F    Cm/G
If you're gonna spend the summer in New York City
     C     F  F# C/G              G#         Am
Them women oh oh oh they're gonna slice your pie
E                                F
Said you're so static, baby I've had it
G                   C
Rolling in a yellow cab
E                                     F      Cm/G
Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle
        C          F  F# C/G         G        C
If they catch you, oh oh oh it could turn out bad
 
[Verse 2]
       Am
It's a Show me what you want, I'll show you what I've got
      Am7/F      G         C    F/C C
I can show you a real good time
        Am
She's a friend indeed of a friend in need
              Am7/F          G          C      F/C C
But you'll be sorry when she leaves you crying
 
[Bridge]
    Am
But I can still remember how she laughed at me
     Am7/F           G       C   F/C C
As I spun around and hit the bed
         Am
She said thank you honey, forget about the money
     Am7/F           G    Am
This pretty watch'll do instead

If you're gonna spend the summer in New York City
