{st:Little Shop of Horrors}

[Bb majorBb]Alarm goes off at seven
And you[G minorGm]start uptown.
You[DmDm] put in your eight hours
For the [Cm7Cm7]powers that have [F7F7]always [Bb majorBb]been. [FF][G minorGm]
Till it's five P.[Cm7Cm7]M.

[Eb/FEb/F]Then You go

[Bb majorBb]Downtown[FF] Where the [Bb majorBb]folks are broke.
You go [DmDm]Downtown [A augmentedA]Where your [DmDm]life's a joke.
You go [Eb MajorEb]Downtown [Bb majorBb]When you [Eb MajorEb]buy your token,
you [G minorGm]go [Eb/FEb/F]Home to skid [Bb majorBb]row.[FF]
[Bb majorBb](Home to skid [G minorGm]row.)

[Eb/FEb/F]Yes, you go

[Bb majorBb]Downtown [FF]Where the [Bb majorBb]cabs don't stop
[DmDm]Downtown [A augmentedA]Where the [DmDm]food is slop
[Eb MajorEb]Downtown [Bb majorBb]Where the [Eb MajorEb]hop-heads flop
in the [G minorGm]snow [Eb/FEb/F]Down on Skid [Bb majorBb]Row[FF][Bb majorBb]

[EbM7]Uptown you cater to a million jerks.
[G minorGm]Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks
[C minorCm]eating all your lunches at the hot dog carts.
[F7F7]The bosses take your money and they break your hearts.

[EbM7]Uptown you cater to a million whores.
[G minorGm]You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors.
[C minorCm]Your job is really menial and you make no bread
[F7F7]then a five o'clock you head...

[Eb/FEb/F]By subway...

[Bb majorBb]Downtown[FF] Where the [Bb majorBb]guys are drips.
[DmDm]Downtown[A augmentedA] Where they [DmDm]rip your slips.
[Eb MajorEb]Downtown[Bb majorBb] Where rel[Eb MajorEb]ationships are no [G minorGm]go.
[Eb/FEb/F]Down on skid [Bb majorBb]row[FF]
[Bb majorBb]Down on skid [G minorGm]row[Dm7Dm7]
[G minorGm]Down on skid [Eb MajorEb]row[Bb majorBb]
[Eb MajorEb]Down on skid [Cm7Cm7]row! [F7F7]

[G minorGm]Poor! All my life I've always been [Eb MajorEb]poor.
I keep asking God what I'm [G minorGm]for,
and he tells me "Gee, I'm not [DmDm]sure
[Cm7Cm7]Sweep that [Eb/FEb/F]floor, kid."
[C minorCm]Oh, [G+G][C minorCm]I started life as an or[G minorGm]phan,
a child of [DmDm]the street[G minorGm]
Here on skid row.[C minorCm][G+G]
[C minorCm]He took me in, gave me [G minorGm]shelter, a bed,
[C7C7]Crust of bread and a job
[Bb majorBb]Treats me like dirt, [C7C7]calls me a slob, Which I [F7sus4F7sus4]am.
[F7F7]So I live

[Bb majorBb]Downtown That's your home address.
Ya live [DmDm]Downtown When your life's a mess.
Ya live [Eb MajorEb] Downtown Where depressions' jes' [G minorGm]Status Quo.

[Eb/FEb/F]Down on skid [Bb majorBb]row
Someone show me a way to get outa here,
[DmDm]'cause I constantly pray I'll get outa here
[Eb MajorEb]Please, won't somebody say I'll get outa here
[G minorGm]Someone gimme my shot or I'll [Eb/FEb/F]rot here.

[Bb majorBb]Show me how and I will, I'll get out-a here.
[DmDm]I'll start climbin' up hill and get out-a here.
[Eb MajorEb]Someone tell me I still could get out-a here.
[G minorGm]Someone tell lady luck that I'm [Eb/FEb/F]stuck here.

[Bb majorBb]Gee it sure would be swell to get out-a here
[DmDm]Bid the gutter fairwell and get out-a here
[Eb MajorEb]I'd move heaven and hell to get out-a skid
[G minorGm]I'd do I dunno what [F7sus4F7sus4]to get out-a skid
but a hell of a lot to get out-a skid
people tell me there's not a way out-a skid
but believe me I gotta get out-a skid [Bb majorBb]row.
