New York State of Mind Billy Joel
[C]Some folks like to [E7-9]get away,
Take a ho[Am7]liday from the[Gdim] neighborhoo[C7]d,
[F]Hop a flight to M[A7]iami Beach or to [Dm7]Hollywood. [Bb9]
[C]But I'm [E7-9]takin' a G[Am7]reyhound [CM7]on the H[F]udson [C]River[D7] line --
I'm in a [G9]New York state of [Am7]mind[G]. [E7-9] [Am7]
[C]I've seen all the m[E7-9]ovie stars
In their [Am7]fancy cars and their[Gdim] lim - ou - s[C7]ines,
[F]Been high in the [A7]Rockys under the [Dm7]evergreens;[Bb9]
[C]I know what I'm [E7-9]needin', and[Am7] I don't [CM7]wanna wa[F]ste m[C]ore t[D7]ime --
I'm in a [G9]New York state of [Am7]mind[G].
Bridge:
It was so [E7]easy livin' [GM7]day by day
[Gm7]Out of touch with the r[C9]hythym and b[FM7]lues;
But [Bm7]now I need a l[E7]ittle give and [AM7]take,
The [Am7]New York Times, the D[D7]aily [GM7]News.
It [C]comes down to r[E7-9]eality,
And it's [Am7]fine with me, 'cause I've[Gdim] let it s[C7]lide;
I d[F]on't care if it's [A7]Chinatown or on R[Dm7]iverside. [Bb9]
I [C]don't have any r[E7-9]easons; I [Am7]left them[CM7] all beh[F]ind -[C]- [D7]
I'm in a N[G9]ew York s[Am7]tate of mi[G]nd.
Coda:
[C]I'm just [E7-9]taking a G[Am7]reyhound[CM7] on the H[F]udson R[C]iver [D7]line.
'Cause I'm in [G9]a New York state[C] of[E7-9] mind[Am7]. [Bb9] [C7/9]
