Cloud Nine chords by The Temptations, Eddie Kendricks
Intro 1
D
Verse 1
D
Childhood part of my life,
it wasn't very pretty.
You see, I was born and raised
in the slums of the city,
It was a one room shack that slept
ten other children besides me.
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep.
Dm
It was hard times,
D
Needed something to ease
my troubled mind.
Listen! my father didn't know
G
the meaning of work,
D
He disrespected mama,
and treated us like dirt.
G
D
I left home, seekin' a job that
I never did find,
Depressed and downhearted
I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Dm
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine,
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
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
G
A
to walk the streets at night,
D
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine.
