 Some folks like to get away
       A5              G5           C5
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
F5                  A5              D5        Bb5
 Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood. 
C5        E5     A5      C5
 But I'm  takin' a Greyhound 
       F5      C5         D5
On the Hudson River line

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
                           A5  G5 E5
I'm in a New York state of mind  
     A5        D5          G5
      It was so easy livin'  day by day
     G5           C5                   F5
      Out of touch  with the rhythm and blues
     B5        E5            A5
      And now I need a little  give and take
         A5      D5
     The New York Times
         G5        D5  G5 G5
     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 
                                C5
I'm in a New York state of mind
