Verse 1
I (G major) was (C major) raised in New York City
where (D minor) the (F major) money grows on trees
And the (G major) flowers (D minor) are li (G major) quidy
an (D major) d the (G major) people look dis (C major) eased
Come up from New Jersey
where I (F major) sung the Bayonne Blues
I (D minor) watched a roller (G major) derby (D major) on the 730 (G major) (C major) news
I thought I'd (G major) be a (E minor) folk singer,
(D minor) I (G major) went down (D minor) to McDou (B flat major) gal (G major) Street
In (C major) Bleecker where the stars got stoned
But the (G major) Union Hall was (E minor) closed
(D major) and stars (G major) out (A major) on the (B flat major) road
Mak (G major) ing money singing
(B flat major) an ti (G major) -money songs (C major)
I went back up to Broadway,
I (F major) took the I .R .T.
Some (G major) old man in a rink
with (D major) a heartless (G major) body next to (C major) me
He wanted to make some money fast
and (F major) then he grabbed me by the ass
I (G major) got derailed at 42nd (C major) Street
I asked (G major) some lady (E minor) for the (D minor) time,
she (G major) asked me (A major) to her (B flat major) room
(G major) She (C major) said, I've got a water bed,
(G major) I (C minor) said, I've (C major) got the flu
You (G major) look just like a (E minor) friend of (D major) mine,
I (G major) never liked you (B flat major) well
(G major) She's (C major) so big she (F major) wants card (G major) s
of the Crackin' Liberty (C major) Bell (G major) (C major)
I went into the Taco Bell
to (F major) get myself some lunch
They (G major) rushed me to the hospital
to have my stomach pumped
(C major) Run over on the corner
by a (F major) wheelchair with no horn
I (G major) fell into a manhole
and was baptized and re (C major) born
I moved down (D minor) to Long (E minor) Island,
(D major) bought a (G major) color (A major) TV
(B flat major) I (G major) (C major) watch the (G major) doctor shows, (E flat major)
(B flat major) I'm (G major) a soul poppin' queen
(D major) I (G major) think I got pneumo (E minor) nia,
(D major) I'm sure I (A major) got TB
(B flat major) May (G major) (C major) not be a (F major) hell of a life,
but (G major) it's not enough for (C major) me (D minor) (G major) (E minor) (D major) (C major) (D major) (E flat major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor)
