   Em      G          D                G
I bid farewell to the state of ol' New York
   C      D       G
My home away from home
C                               C/G G
In the state of New York I came of age
     Am      C       D
When first I started roaming

        Em         G       D        G
And the trees grow high in New York state
         Em          D7        G
And they shine like gold in autumn
C                              C/G G
Never had the blues from whence I came
       Am       C       D
But in New York state I caught 'em

Talk to me of Mendocino
G                 D        G
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
G            C       C/G
Must I wait, must I follow?
G              D         G
Won't you say, "Come with me?"

         Em     G          D   G
And it's on to South Bend, Indiana
C     Am         D       G
Flat, out on the Western Plain
C                                         C/G    G
Rise up over the Rockies and down on into California
Am     C             D
Out to where but the rocks remain

    Em      G       D      G
And let the sun set on the ocean
C      Am       D        G
I will watch it from the shore
C                         C/G  G
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
Am        C              D       G
I'll rise with it till I rise no more
