_ [G] _ _ [D] know, I don't love this place where I live, [Bm] _ [A] _ _ [C] this particular _ geographic [G] location,
_ _ _ [D] but I've grown used to [G] it.
[A] _ Now [G] I miss it [C] while I'm away. _ _
_ [G] _ Of [D] course, when I was a child, my father would [A] take [Am] me with him down to the [C] Bowery. _ _ _
[G] _ And in the restaurant [D] supply stores, he would buy [Am] shiny steel [A] refrigerators, [C] _ _ deadly looking [G] stoves.
Well, I [D] begged him to take me down to Canal Street, [Am] _ _ buy me [C] some big dead boys. _ _
[G] _ _ He wore [D] a short corduroy jacket, _
[Am] _ _ a feather [C] in his hat, _ _
[G] _ _ and he [D] talked with his hands in his pants pockets, [Am] _ _ _ [C] jangling change. _ _
[G] _ _ We were [D] riding in his Cadillac _ _
[A] _ [Am] _ [C] on Elvis Presley's birthday. _ _
[G] _ _ They said [D] on the radio, _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] my father, he liked Elvis.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] And it was wonderful. _
[Am] _ _ It was [C] wonderful.
_ _ [G] _
_ We drove through [D] the black neighborhoods of Long Island's North Shore [Am] _ when [C] Elvis was alive.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] You see, my father was from Brooklyn, _ _
[A] _ [Am] _ and the Great [C] Depression left its mark. _
[G] _ _ Said he used [D] to pick up coal right off the railroad tracks.
[Am] _ _ [C] Still, _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ hardly had a [D] good word to say about Franklin Delano [Am] Roosevelt.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ Later, _ [D] _ _ I [A] liked [Am] _ elegant [C] _ _ hotel [G] bars where [D] I could drink _ _
[Am] _ _ under F.
[C] Scott Fitzgerald's sky.
[G] Coolest of the cool.
_ [D] Never a child with [Am] _ _ _ [C] my dead father. _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] Jangling change on [Am] _ _ _ [C] Elvis Presley's birthday. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ This is [D] an unreal city. _ _
[G] [Am] You can be anybody [C] that you want to [G] be when _ [D] you're alone. _
_ [Am] _ Hey!
[C] _ _ Hey!
