_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [D#] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [D] _ Well, boy, [Dm] born, hard-timed and stupid,
_ Round and round, but we're wounded and so put down,
Thanksgiving night, love and affection,
_ [C] Keepin' strong, [Dm] livin' in the right direction,
And [G] if you ain't guessin' I'm comin' [Am] up,
[C] Just [C#] sit up or [D] sit down.
[G] _ _ _ Ah, [Am]
great.
[Dm] His father was ex, some days for fourteen hours,
And you can bet now, he hardly makes a dollar,
_ His mama goes out, scrub the floors for many,
_ And I declare, someone who hardly makes a penny,
[G] Can be dancin' up in [A] Atlanta,
[A#] Just [C#] sit up [D] or sit down.
[Fm] [G] Ah, great.
[E] [G#] His _ [F#] _ [B] sister's black, [F#m] but she's [B] shown up pretty,
[F#] Her [B] skirt is short, [F#m] but she's a [B] rock star,
[F#] She walks [B] to school, [F#m] she's got to get [B] her permit,
[F#] _ _ [B] _ [F#m] But never [B] does it, livin' just enough,
[C#] Just enough, _ [F#] yeah.
[B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _
[F#] _ Her [B] father's smart, [F#m] he's got more [B] sense than me,
[F#] His [B] reason's clear, [F#m] but soon he [B] won't have it [F#] made,
To [B] find that y'all, [F#m] is like to [B] hang the needle, [F#] yeah.
[B] Her friend is, [F#m] they sure do [B] scare people,
And yet, you know, just enough for [F#] the city.
[G#m] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[E] _ [F#] _ [B] Yeah, [A] yeah. _ _
_ _ Lord, what am I doing here,
[Em] With all this pain and suffering and misery,
With all the pain and all the rats and the roaches,
And the mud in the streets,
And all the drugs and the rape goin' around,
I know I have my electricity cut off,
My gas don't burn no more,
And even the water has stopped flowin',
And my poor family is cold and hungry,
Why has God forsaken [Dm] me?
He's kind of long, he's sweet of heart and good girl,
_ He's spendin' his life walkin' the streets of New York City,
[D] He's almost [Am] dead, from [D] beatin' the [Dm] air pollution, _
He tried to vote, but to him there's no [G] solution,
He's been a gas and all,
[A] _ [A#] [C] Lord, [C#] just [D] enough for the city.
[F] _ [G] Ah, shit.
_ [Dm] _ _
I hope [C] you hear [D] inside my voice of sorrow,
And that [Dm] motivation to make a better tomorrow,
Just [Am] like a [Dm] squirrel, your world could be much colder,
If we don't change the world, or something of the [G] sort,
Just enough, [A] just [A#] [C] enough [C#] for [Dm] the city.
_ _ _ _ _ Lord, just [C] [G] enough for the city.
[Dm] _ _
Lord, [G] _ _ [Dm] _ I'm just living in a day,
[G] _ _ I [F] can't help myself, _
_ [G] I hope somebody understands [Dm] what I'm talkin' about, _
_ [G] Lord, just enough for [Dm] the city. _ _
[G] _ I can't help [Dm] myself,
I _ [G] hope somebody understands what I'm talkin' about,
Lord, _ [Dm] just enough for the city.
[G] _
_ I'm livin' for, _ _ for the city.
_ _ [Cm] _ I'm livin' just enough for the city.
