C E7-9
Some folks like to get away
Am7 Gm7 C7
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood

Bop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Bollywood.

But I'm takin' a Greyhound
F C D7
On the Budson River line
Fmaj7 G9sus Am7 D7 Am G9sus
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
Am G E7-9
I'm in a New York state of mind

   Am7 D7 Gmaj7 
   It was so easy livin' day by day
   Gm7 C9 Fmaj
   Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
   Bm7 E7 Amaj7
   And now I need a little give and take
   Am7 D7
   The New York Times
   Gmaj7 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
