Verse:
G+G             E minorEm
Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open
Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl

Ain't no angel with a harp come singin'

Leastways not that I know in this world

G+G          E minorEm
In these days of uncertain futures
Who knows what the masters might do

They got their big deals goin' on, goin' on
C majorC              D MajorD
Got nothing to do with me and you

Chorus:
A minorAm        D MajorD
If I could I'd get us a big suite
A minorAm         D MajorD
Overlooking the Park
G+G         D MajorD
Only promises I know to be true
    C majorC              D MajorD

Just the promises made from the heart

I don't need to see a woman crying for the savior
C majorC           D MajorD
Holding on to some moneyman's hand

{Chorus]
A minorAm          D MajorD
Who can I call to make my reservations
A minorAm             D MajorD
Forever thrown in the dark

Just the promises made from the heart

To live the way that I want to
