These Are Not My People Chords by Freddy Weller

_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ First your mama and your papa [C] sent you to the _ [G] finest stew _
_ _ _ Never let it be said [C] that their little [G] darling was a fool _
So _ [C] with a credit card and your [D] good name
_ [G] You were drawn like a moth [C] to a flame
_ [Am] To the people of the night where you more or less lost [D] your cool _
You _ _ [G] had twenty-twenty vision [C] and still you were walking [G] round blind _
_ _ _ Yes and whether right or wrong [C] I'd still tag along [G] behind _
But _ _ [C] you're flying too high [D] today
_ [G] And if this is how it's got [C] to be
_ [Am] Then it's time to say you go your way
I'll go [D] mine, it's been a [E] gasp but I'm gonna have to [Am] pass
These are not my [D] people
_ _ [G] _ These are not [E] my people
It's [Am] like being my friend
[D] _ [F#] Got to get in [G] the way of my friend
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] You found yourself naked [D] in the world with no [A] place to hide _
Then _ you felt the pulse of [D] your God and he [A] had died _
And _ _ [D] all your rebels would have got [E] no cause
And [A] all your tigers would have got [D] no claws
[Bm] They promised you the world on a string but you know [E] they lied _
You _ _ [A] said you'd be back [D] in a black _ [A] Cadillac _ limousine
_ _ _ _ But I'm inclined [D] to think it's not the kind [A] you mean _
Cause _ [D] when you fall down off [E] your cloud
_ [A] And you're just another face [D] in the crowd
_ [Bm] They're gonna throw you away like last week's [E] magazines
Party [B] pals and [F#] sociable [Bm] gals
These are not [E] my people
_ [A] _ These are not [F#] my people
It's [Bm] like being my [E] friend
Got to get [A] in the way of my friend
[F#] _ _ It's [F#m] like being my friend
[E] _ Got to get [A] in the way of my friend
[F#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
