C E7M/9
Some folks like to get away
Am7 Gm7 C7
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
F A7 Dm7 Bb9
Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood.
C E7M/9 Am7 C7M
But I'm takin' a Greyhound
F C D7
On the Hudson River line
F7M G4/9 Am7 D7 Am G G7/9
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't want to waste more time
Am7 G E7M/9
I'm in a New York state of mind
Am7 D7 G7M
It was so easy livin' day by day
Gm7 C9 F7M
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
Bm7 E7 A7M
And now I need a little give and take
Am7 D7
The New York Times
G7M Dm7 G7sus G7
The Daily News
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me, 'cause I let it slide
don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
C
I'm in a New York state of mind
