Chords
Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a song by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. It was one of the groups biggest hits, released in 1967. The song was written during a tour of the United States, at a time when the Gibbs longed to return to England, reflecting a sentiment of homesickness. Interestingly, none of the Gibb brothers had visited the state of Massachusetts prior to writing the song.
