I bid farewell to the state of ol' New York 
   C      D       G
My home away from home

In the state of New York I came of age 
     Am      C       D            
When first I started roaming

And the trees grow high in New York state

And they shine like gold in autumn 
C                              C/G G
Never had the blues from whence I came 
       Am       C       D        
But in New York state I caught 'em

Flat, out on the Western Plain

Rise up over the Rockies and down on into California

Out to where but the rocks remain 

    Em      G       D      G
And let the sun set on the ocean

I will watch it from the shore 
C                         C/G  G
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
