C E7/9-
Some folks like to get away
Am7 Gdim C7
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
F A7 Dm7 Bb9
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
C E7/9- Am7 C7M F C D7
But I'm takin' a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
G9 Am7 G E7/9- Am7
I'm in a New York state of mind
C E7/9-
I've seen all the movie stars
Am7 Gdim C7
In their fancy cars and their limousines
F A7 Dm7 Bb9
Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens
C E7/9- Am7 C7M F C D7
I know what I'm needin', and I don't wanna waste more time
G9 Am7 G
I'm in a New York state of mind
Bridge
E7 G7M
It was so easy livin' day by day
Gm7 C9 F7M
Out of touch with the rhythym and blues
Bm7 E7 A7M
But now I need a little give and take
Am7 D7 G7M
The New York Times, the Daily News
C E7/9- Am7 Gdim C7
It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me, 'cause I've let it slide
F A7 Dm7 Bb9
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.
C E7/9- Am7 C7M F C D7
I don't have any reasons; I left them all behind
G9 Am7 G
I'm in a New York state of mind
C E7/9-
I've seen all the movie stars
Am7 Gdim C7
In their fancy cars and their limousines
F A7 Dm7 Bb9
Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens
C E7/9- Am7 C7M F C D7
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
G9 C E7/9- Am7 Bb9 C7/9
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
