[Verse 1] 
[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] 
[C] I seen all the [E7] movie stars in their 
[Am7] fancy cars and their [Gm7] limousines [C7] 
[F] Been high in the [A7] Rockies under the [Dm] evergreens [Bb9]

[Gmaj7] day by day [G] (3x0003 3x0013 3x0033)
[Gm7] Out of touch [C7] with the rhythm and 
[Fmaj7] blues (1x3210 1x3200 1x3210)
[Bm7] Well, now I [E7] need a little

The [Am7] New York Times [D7] 
The [Gmaj7] Daily News ... [Dm7] [F/G] [G7]
 
[Verse 3] 
[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, 
[C/G] [F] left them [C/E] all [D7] behind

Earth Wind And Fire-September

 Verse 1
          Dmaj7  C#m7
Do you remember 
    Bm7  F#m7       Dmaj7  C#m7
the 21st night of September?
         Bm7          F#m7         Dmaj7  C#m7 
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
       Bm7        Fm7    G/A
While chasing the clouds away

Verse 2 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Chorus
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7     G/A
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Verse 3 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Verse 4 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

[Chorus x 2]
