[C] Some folks like to [E7] get away, take a 
[Am7] holiday from the [Gm7] neighborhood [C7] 
[F] Hop a flight to [A7] Miami Beach or to 
[Dm] Hollywood [Bb9] 
[C] But [E7/B] I'm taking a [Am7] Greyhound 
[C/G] on the [F] Hudson [C/E] River [D7] line
[C/F] I'm in a [F/G] New York state of 
[Am] mind [D7] [Am] mm [G] mmm [F/G] 
 
[Verse 2]

[F] Been high in the [A7] Rockies under the [Dm] evergreens [Bb9]

[Gm7] Out of touch [C7] with the rhythm and

[C] It comes down to [E7] reality and it's 
[Am7] fine with me cause I've [Gm7] let it slide [C7] 
[F] Don't care if it's [A7] Chinatown or on 
[Dm] Riverside [Bb9] 
[C] I [E7/B] don't have any [Am7] reasons,
