Intro 1
(D major)
(D minor) (D major)
Verse 1
Oh (D minor) ho, ho ho (D major) ho,
ooh, hoo (D minor) (D major)
(D minor) Childhood (D major) part of my life,
it wasn't very pretty
You see, I was born and raised
in the slums of the city (D minor)
(D major) It was a one room shack that slept
ten other (A major) children besides (D major) me (D minor)
(D major) We hardly had enough
food or room to (D minor) sleep
It was hard times
Needed something (D major) to ease my
troubled mind
Listen, my father didn't know
the meaning of work (D minor)
(D major) 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
I'm doin' fine, (D minor) up (D major) here on cloud nine
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine,
(D minor) up (D major) here on cloud nine
Folks down there tell me
They say, give yourself a chance son,
don't let life pass you (G major) by
But the (D major) world of real (D minor) ity is a rat race (D major)
where (G major) only the strongest survive
It's a (D major) dog eat dog world,
and that ain't no (G major) lie
Listen, it ain't (A major) even safe no more
to walk the streets at night
I'm doin' fine, (D minor) on (D major) cloud nine
Let me tell you about cloud nine

(D major) (Cloud nine) and you're a mil (G major) lion
miles (D major) from reality (D minor) (D major) (D minor) (G major) (D major) (D minor) (D major)
I (G major) wanna say I (D minor) love the life I live (D major)
And I'm (G major) gonna live (D minor) the life I (D major)
love up (G major) here on (D major) cloud nine
I, I, I, I, I, (D minor) I (D major) I'm riding (A major) high (D major) (D minor)
(D major) On cloud nine, you're as (G major) free as a
bird in (A major) flight (D major)
(Cloud nine) there's no difference between (G major)
(A major) day and (G major) night (D major)
(Cloud nine) it's a (G major) world (A major) of love and
(G major) harmony (C major) (D major)
(Cloud nine) you're a mil (G major) lion miles
