[Dm] Childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty.
See, I was born and raised in the slums of the city.
There wasn't one room stacked to slap
10 other children beside me.
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep.
It was hard times.
Needed something to eat, my trouble [D] man.
My father [Dm] didn't know the meaning of worth.
He disrespected mama and treated us like children.
[A] I left home seeking a job that I [Dm] never did find.
[A] Depressed and downhearted, I [Dm] took the cloud nine.
I'm doing fine up here on [D] cloud nine.
Listen, one more time.
I'm doing fine [Dm]
on [D] cloud nine.
Folks down in town, [D] they say, give yourself a chance,
son, don't let life [G] pass you by.
[Dm] But the world reality of a rat race,
[G] my only soul to survive is a [D] dog eating frog.
Well, there ain't [G] no lie.
[A] It ain't even safe no more to walk the streets at night.
I'm [Dm] doing fine on [D] cloud nine.
Let me tell you about cloud nine.
[G] You can be what you want to be.
You [Bb] ain't got no responsibility.
Cloud nine [G] is free.
And you're a million [D] miles from reality.
Reality is a white male, not a black male.
A [Dm] good, [G]
[D] good, good.
[G] I want to [D] say I love the way I live.
[G] And I'm [D] going to [G] live the life I [D] love [G] up here on [D] cloud nine.
I'm riding [Dm] high on cloud nine.
[Gm] You're as free as a burning [Am] flame.
[Bb] Cloud nine.
[G] There's no difference between day and night.
[D] Cloud nine.
[C]
Oh, you're [Bb] a million [D] miles from reality.
Reality is a white male.
[Dm] Reality is a [D] black [G]

[G] You ain't got [D] no [G] responsibility.
[D] Cloud nine.
