To spread (F sharp major) his wealth around
Born (E major) into society, a banker's only child
He had (B minor) everything (A major) a man (D major) could want

The papers (B minor) print his picture
Almost (A major) everywhere he goes
Richard (B minor) Cory at the opera
Richard (F sharp major) Cory at a show

With everything (F sharp major) he's got

And put a (B minor) bullet through his head"
