ARTIST: Billy Joel
TITLE: New York State of Mind
Lyrics and Chords


[ Fm6 = xx0111 ]

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind

/ C E7 Am7 Gm7 / F A7 Dm7 Fm6 / CE7 Am7 F D7 / Fmaj7 G7 Am7 D7 Am7 G /

I 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 needing and I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

{Bridge}
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News

(E7) / Am7 D7 Gmaj7 - / Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 - / Bm7 E7 Amaj7 - / Am7 D7 Gmaj7 - Dm7 G7 /

It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

{Bridge}

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
