Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
(D major) 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.
It was hard times, (D minor)
(D major) Needed something to ease
my troubled mind.
Listen! my father didn't know
the meaning of work, (G major)
(D major) He disrespected mama,
and treated us like dirt.
I left home, (G major) seekin' a job (D major) that
I never did find,
Depressed and downhearted
I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine, (D minor)
(D major) up 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 reality is a rat race
where only (G major) the strongest survive,
It's a dog (D major) eat dog world,
and that ain't no (G major) lie.
Listen! it ain't (A major) even safe no more
(G major) to (A major) walk the streets at night,
I'm (D major) doin' fine, on cloud nine.

Verse 2
Let me tell you about cloud nine.
(D major) Cloud nine, you can be (G major) what you
wanna be
(cloud nine) you (C major) (D major) ain't
(G major) got no responsibility,
(C major) And (D major) ev'ry man,
(G major) ev'ry man is free
(C major) (cloud nine) and (D major) you're a mil (G major) lion
miles from reality. (D major) (D minor) (G major) (D minor) (G major) (D major) (D minor) (G major)
I wanna say I love the life I live,
And I'm gonna live (D major) the (G major) life I
love up here on cloud (D major) nine.
I'm riding high
On cloud nine, you're as free (F sharp major) as a bird (G major)
in (A major) flight (D major)
(cloud nine) there's no diff'rence
between (G major) day (D major) and night
(cloud nine) it's a world
(G major) of love and harmony
(A major) (D major) (cloud nine) you're a mil
(G major) lion miles (D major) from reality.
Verse 3
Cloud nine, you can (D major)
be what you wanna be
Cloud (D minor) nine) you (G major) (D minor) ain't (F major) (G major)
(D major)
(G major) got (D major) (G major) no responsibility,
And ev'ry man, (D major) (D minor) (G major) ev'ry man is
(D minor) free (F major) (G major) (F major) (G major)
(cloud nine) and you're a (D major) (D minor) (G major) million miles (D major) (G major) from
(G major) reality.
(cloud nine) (cloud nine) (cloud nine)
