Lyrics
Some folks like to (E7)get away,
take a (Am)holiday (Am7)from the (Gm7)(C7)neighborhood;
(F)hop a flight to (A7)Miami Beach un or to (Dm7)Hollywood.
(C)But I'm (E7)takin' a (Am)Greyhound (C)on the Hudson to River (D7)line.
(Fmaj7)I'm in a (G7sus)New York state of (Am)(D7)mind.
(C)I've seen all the (E7)movie stars in their (Am)fancy cars (Am7)and their (Gm7)(C7)limousines,
(F)been a high in the (A7)Rockies Beach un der the (Dm7)evergreens.
(C)But I (E7)know what I'm (Am)needin' (C)and I don't son to waste more (D7)time.
(Fmaj7)I'm in a (G7sus)New York state of (Am)(D7)mind.
(Am)It (Am7)was so (D7)easy livin' (Gmaj7)day by day,
(Gm7)out of touch with the rhythm and (Fmaj7)(F6)blues.
(Bm)And now I (E7)need a little (A)give and take,
the (Am7)New York Times, the (Gmaj7)Daily News.
(C)Comes down to (E7)reality and it's (Am)fine with me,
(Am7)'cause I've (Gm7)(C7)let it slide.
(F)Don't care if it's (A7)Chinatown or on (Dm7)Riverside.
(C)I don't (E7)have any (Am)reasons;
(C)I've left them all (D7)behind.
(Fmaj7)I'm in a (G7sus)New York state of (C)mind.
