INTRO: D G A G A...D G A....D G A G A...D G A..

CHORUS:
G        D     A          D
New York City, look at me now..
G   D                      A        D
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
G        D     A         D
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
G          D              A        D
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
G A G A...D G A..
#1.
D      G        D        G          D         G
Didn't want the mayor to come..or a big brass band
   D        G A
to greet me.
D   G          D         G             D
But then the reception I got..well, it wasn't what I
G      A
had in mind.
G              A      G                A
People gawkin' at me, like I'm talkin' strange.
G                A                              D
Me, I ain't much better..cause I'm thinkin' the same.
G    A
Hey, boy!

CHORUS:
G        D     A          D
New York City, look at me now..
G   D                      A        D
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
G        D     A         D
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
G          D              A        D
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
G A G A...D G A..

#2.
D      G         D         G      D          G       D       G A
Sayin' y'all and eatin' on grits..talkin' as slow as molasses.
D           G          D           G           D
And all the time, just pointing at me..and the hair growin'
G       A
over my ears.

BRIDGE:
G               A          G                          A
Gets my mind to wonderin', just who's right and who's wrong.
  G                                A
I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns, I'll get used
       D     G    A
to the corn. Hey, boy!

CHORUS:
G        D     A          D
New York City, look at me now..
G   D                      A        D
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
G        D     A         D
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
G          D              A        D
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
D G A (x3)

CHORUS:
G        D     A          D
New York City, look at me now..
G         D                A        D
I'm being stared at from behind the plow.
G        D     A         D
Mississ..ippi, don't get annoyed..
G          D              A        D
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy.
