Intro: Em G D G C D G  

   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  

G             C     C/G 
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 
  
         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  

G             C    C/G 
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?"
