B                    E
  It's a part of the act
          D#m7
The fifty states
             C#m7
Pack up your bags
               B
It's never too late
        E         D#m7
From Alabama to Arkansas

  We went running through the oil
B        E           D#m7 C#m7
  And my favorite avenue
B            E                D#m7 C#m7

And a Tennessee too
        E            D#m7
See Oklahoma or Michigan
            C#m7                 B
There's a Nevada, see Washington win.
      E           D#m7
Or Arizona, Colorado
            C#m7            B
Connecticut Yankee, love Ohio.
      E             D#m7

(We went running through the rain)

      E             D#m7
And my favorite city park
        C#m7          B
(and his favorite city park)

      E                D#m7
And my favorite time of day

Fly in to Georgia, Idaho Bay
       C#m7                   B
Or Indiana, they all seem the same
        E               D#m7
Florida voting, Montana chew
        C#m7                       B
Visit Nebraska, there's nothing to do
          E            D#m7

Illinois people, Illinois farms

(I heard he lived in Michigan)
        E             D#m7
Or if I lived to be a man
           C#m7          B
 (or if he lives to be a man).
         E           D#m7
Will you comfort me again?

Iowa, Texas, take it all in

heading back to New York.
