[Verse 1]

  Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
F                  A7                Dm           Bb9
   Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
C      E7/B          Am7       C/G       F      C/E     D7
   But I'm taking a Greyhound     on the Hudson River line
C/F           F/G                 Am   D7     Am  G     F/G
     I'm in a New York state of mind          mm  mmm
 
 
[Verse 2]

   I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
F                   A7                Dm         Bb9
   Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
C        E7/B          Am7     C/G      F             C/E        D7
   But I know what I'm needing    and I don't want to waste more time
C/F          F/G                 Am     D9     Am  G   E7
    I'm in a New York state of mind            mmm mmm
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am7           D7        Gmaj7        G
   It was so easy living     day by day
Gm7             C7                     Fmaj7
   Out of touch    with the rhythm and blues
Bm7             E7            Amaj7
    Well, now I need a little       give and take
    Am7             D7

  It comes down to reality and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
F                       A7              Dm        Bb9
    Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
C     E7/B           Am7      C/G   F           C/E   D7
   I  don't have any reasons,          left them all behind
C/F          F/G                Am    D9    Am    G    F/G
    I'm in a New York state of mind         mm    mm     ooh ya
