C                    E7(#9)
   Some folks like to get away
       Am7               Gm7          C7   
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
F                    A7
   Hop a flight to Miami Beach
       Dm7          Bb9
Or to Hollywood
C        E7(#9)/B           Am7      Cmaj7/G
But I'm            taking a Greyhound
        F     C/E             D7    Fmaj9
On the Hudson     River Line
         G9 (sus4)         Am7   D7      Am7    G   G9 (sus4)
I'm in a New York state of mind 


C                    E7(#9)
   I've seen all the movie stars
          Am7                  Gm7          C7 
In their fancy cars and their limousines
F                    A7                Dm7          Bb9
    Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
C        E7(#9)/B       Am7      Cmaj7/G
   But I know what I'm needing
       F          C/E         D7    Fmaj9
And I don't wanna waste more time
         G9 (sus4)         Am7   D7      Am7    G   E7(#9)      
I'm in a New York state of mind 


Am7            D7          Gmaj7            
     It was so easy living       day by day
Gm7               C9                      Fmaj7
     Out of touch     with the rhythm and blues
Bm7            E7            Amaj7 
     But now I need a little       give and take
Am7                     D7      Gmaj7
     The New York Times,    The Daily News 
Dm7                G7sus    G7


C                    E7(#9)
   It comes down to reality
         Am7                      Gm7           C7 
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
F                       A7              Dm7          Bb9
    Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
C         E7(#9)/B    Am7      Cmaj7/G
    I don't have any reasons
     F         C/E    D7    Fmaj9
I've left them all behind
         G9 (sus4)         Am7   D7      Am7    G   G9 (sus4)  
I'm in a New York state of mind
