Homestate

G

[Verse]
                           D
Sometimes when I'm driving late in 
the night
                 Em               
When there's that special kind of 
C
early morning light
         G                D
When the evergreen stands out in the
 dark
    Em                          
I'm thinking about that northern 
 C                      G
state of New York, New York

[Chorus]
D                  G
New York State was good to me
         C                      
'Cause I found a wife and made a 
 G
family
   D                   Em
If anyone asks what it means to me
               C              G
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll 
ever be, in New York
G
New York

[Verse]
                             D
Well, New York city's just a part of
 the state
     Em                           
Some people hate it, I think it's 
C
great
        G                  D
It's an honest city, won't tell you 
a lie
     Em                            
It'll take your money and look you 
C                        G
straight in the eye, New York

[Verse]
                      D
When the city got too much to take
Continúa después del anuncio
         Em                       
When the pressure built up and we 
C
thought we'd break
     G                 D
When everyone else was headed south
   Em                   C         
We went our own way, we headed 
          G
north of New York

[Chorus]
D                  G
New York State was good to me
         C                      
'Cause I found a wife and made a 
 G
family
   D                   Em
If anyone asks what it means to me
               C              G
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll 
ever be, in New York
G
New York

[Verse]
                         D
I wish I could take that trip again
Em                       C
Five hundred miles up to Lake 
Champlain
G                       D
Fishing for supper in a homemade 
boat
    Em                   C     
The love we made and the songs I 
               G
wrote of New York

[Verse]
                             D
And we rented a house on the Long 
Island sand
      Em                   C
Where work in the city was close at 
hand
       G                 D
In the summer we swam in Montauk Bay
    Em              C             
And England felt so far away from 
    G
New York

[Chorus]
D                  G
New York State was good to me
         C                      
'Cause I found a wife and made a 
 G
family
   D                   Em
If anyone asks what it means to me
               C              G
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll 
ever be, in New York
G
New York

[Verse]
                 D
And it may sound strange that an 
Englishman
       Em                  C
Should lose his heart to a foreign 
land
G                       D
Maybe it's because I've been away
    Em                  C         
Too long from her, it's hard to 
       G
say, New York

[Chorus]
D                  G
New York State was good to me
         C                      
'Cause I found a wife and made a 
 G
family
   D                   Em
If anyone asks what it means to me
               C              G
Well, it's the nearest to home I'll 
ever be, in New York
G
New York
