[Verse 1]
              Em
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
      D               Em
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Em
Music loud and women warm
          D                   Em
I've been kicked around since I was born

[Pre-Chorus]
             A
But now it's all right, that's okay
A
You may look the other way
A
We can try to understand
    A
The New York Times' effect on man

[Chorus]
Em
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
       Em
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Em
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
      Em
I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Em              Em
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Em              Em         [ D   Em ] Bm7
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' ali-i-i-i --- ive
                (break)
            | Em | % | 
Oh, when you walk

[Verse 2]
          Em
Well, now I get low and I get high
         D                   Em
And if I can't get either, I really try
        Em
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
      D                  Em
I'm a dancin' man, and I just can't lose

[Pre-Chorus]
               A
You know, it's all right, it's okay
     A
I'll live to see another day
A
We can try to understand
    A
The New York Times' effect on man

[Chorus]
Em
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
       Em
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Em
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
      Em
I'm a-stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Em              Em
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Em              Em         [ D   Em ] Bm7
