Verse 1
[G]At the setting of the[C] sun
When my [D]long day's work is[G] done
I went out along the [C]sea shore for a walk
And I [Em]being all [C]alone
I sat [G]down upon a[C] stone
To[G] gaze upon the[D] streets of[G] New York

However, the chorus is not given chords here either (it's a PDF file). Have to wait for some of the UKers or Irish to post. I think I'm beat. Unless you know where I can find an mp3.
