I bid farewell to the state of ol' New York
C D G
My home away from home
C C/G G
In the state of New York I came of age
Am C D
When first I started roaming
Em G D G
And the trees grow high in New York state
Em D7 G
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
G C C/G
Talk to me of Mendocino
G D G
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
G C C/G
Must I wait, must I follow?
G D G
Won't you say, "Come with me?"

And it's on to South Bend, Indiana
C Am D G
Flat, out on the Western Plain
C C/G G
Rise up over the Rockies and down on into California
Am C D
Out to where but the rocks remain
Em G D G
And let the sun set on the ocean
C Am D G
I will watch it from the shore
C C/G G
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
Am C D G
I'll rise with it till I rise no more
G C C/G
Talk to me of Mendocino

Closing my eyes I hear the sea
G C C/G
Must I wait, must I follow?
