[Intro]
G+G  D MajorD  A minorAm  C majorC   G+G  D MajorD  A minorAm  C majorC   G+G

[Verse]
G+G                      D MajorD
I can't say that I love this place where I live
           A minorAm                   C majorC
This particular geographical location but I've grown use to it
      G+G              D MajorD
And now I miss it when I'm away, of course when I was a kid
A minorAm                      C majorC
My father would take me with him down to the bowery where the bums where
G+G                       D MajorD
And in the restaurants supply stores he would buy shiny steel refrigerators
A minorAm            C majorC
And deadly looking stoves
         G+G                 D MajorD
While I begged him to take to the army navy surplus stores on canal street
A minorAm           C majorC  G+G
to buy big dead bullets

[Verse]
G+G          D MajorD      A minorAm                 C majorC
 He wore a short cordury jacket,  an informal hat with puff of feather
                           G+G     D MajorD  A minorAm  C majorC
And he talked with his hands in his pants pockets jangling change
G+G                  D MajorD
Driving his Cadillac it was Elvis Presley's birthday
   A minorAm          C majorC
They said it on the radio
                    G+G   D MajorD   A minorAm   C majorC
My father like Elvis and it was worderful
 G+G
We drove trough black nieghborhoods
             D MajorD             A minorAm  C majorC  G+G
On Long Island's north shore When Elvis was alive

[Verse]
G+G                        D MajorD
My father was from Brooklyn and the depression left his mark
A minorAm                    C majorC
  From picking up coal on the railroad tracks
               G+G                D MajorD  A minorAm  C majorC
He didn't have a good word to say about Franklin Delano Roosvelt
G+G    D MajorD
Later I liked elegant hotel bars
A minorAm             C majorC
where I could drink under F. Scott Fitzgerald Skies
G+G            D MajorD       A minorAm             C majorC
The coolest of the cool, never a child on Elvis Presley's birthday's
        G+G        D MajorD   A minorAm   C majorC
My dead father jangling change

[Outro]
G+G            D MajorD         A minorAm      C majorC
This is an unreal City, you can be anybody when you're alone

[Ending]
