Lyrics and Chords


[ Fm6 =  ]

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind

/ C E7 Am7 Gm7 / F A7 Dm7 Fm6 / CE7 Am7 F D7 / Fmaj7 G7 Am7 D7 Am7 G /

Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing and I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

... / Fmaj7 G7 Am7 D7 Am7 GE7 /

Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News

It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

{Bridge}

It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
'Cause I'm in a...
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
