 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.

 But I'm  takin' a Greyhound

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
