D
Oh ho, ho ho ho,
Dm
D
ooh, hoo
Dm
D
Childhood part of my life,
it wasn't very pretty
You see, I was born and raised
Dm
in the slums of the city
D
It was a one room shack that slept
A
D
Dm
ten other children besides me
D
We hardly had enough
Dm
food or room to sleep
It was hard times
D
Needed something to ease my
troubled mind
Listen, my father didn't know
Dm
the meaning of work
D
He disrespected mama,
and treated us like dirt
I left home, seekin' a job that
I never did find
Depressed and downhearted
I took to cloud nine
Dm
D
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine,
Dm
D
up here on cloud nine
Folks down there tell me
They say, give yourself a chance son,
G
don't let life pass you by
D
Dm
D
But the world of reality is a rat race
G
where only the strongest survive
D
It's a dog eat dog world,
G
and that ain't no lie
A
Listen, it ain't even safe no more
to walk the streets at night
Dm
D
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
Let me tell you about cloud nine
