The Faucets Are Dripping Cifras

[Intro]
C
 
[Chorus]
    C
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
    F                        C
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
    G7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
    G7                       C    G7
The faucets that drip in New York
 
[Verse 1]
    C
You can't ask the landlord to put in a washer
     F                       C
He'd rather you move than to put in a washer
    G7
The faucets are dripping, they sound in my ears
    G7                                     C
The tap in the bathroom's been running for years
 
[Verse 2]
          C
There's a wild streak of green in the sink in the kitchen
   F                             C
It comes from the rill trickling out of the plumbing
    G7
The streams from the mountains, the pools from the lea
    G7                                 C
All run from my faucet and down to the sea
 
[Verse 3]
    C
You can't ask the landlord to put in a washer
     F                        C
You can't ask the landlord to mend the old stairs
   G7
He takes in the rent and he lives in Miami
      G7                                      C
Where faucets don't drip and there's sun everywhere
 
[Verse 4]
    C
The faucets are dripping, the landlord's content
     F                   C
With every new tenant he raises the rent
    G7
The buildings can crumble, the tenants can cry
          G7                                        C
There's a shortage of housing, you'll live there or die
 
[Verse 5]
        C
They're building some buildings and new Lincoln Centers
     F                          C
It's sure working hell with the low-income renters
        G7
They're jammed into rooms with the rat and the fly
          G7                                     C
Where the faucets all drip and the floor's never dry
 
[Chorus]
    C
The faucets are dripping in old New York City
    F                        C
The faucets are dripping and oh, what a pity
    G7
The reservoir's drying because it's supplying
    G7                       C
The faucets that drip in New York
