New York State Of Mind

Some folks like to get away

Am7 Gm7 C7

Take a holiday from the neighbourhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood.

But I'm takin' a Greyhound

On the Hudson River line

I'm in a New York state of mind

I've seen all the movie stars

In their fancy cars and their limousines

Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.

But I know what I'm needin'

And I don't want to waste more time

I'm in a New York state of mind

Am7 D7 Gmaj7

It was so easy livin' day by day

Gm7 C9 Fmaj7

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

Bm7 E7 Amaj7

And now I need a little give and take

Am7 D7

The New York Times

Gmaj7 Dm7 G7sus G7

The Daily News

Comes down to reality

And it's fine with me, 'cause I let it slide

don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind
